All Instructors available for Group & Private Lessons

 

  

As valuable and fun as group lessons are, there are times when one-on-one instruction is beneficial to the skater. 

 Individual lessons provide skaters with valuable attention focused directly on them and their skills.  A private coach is able to assist skaters from the very beginning to helping skaters with maneuvers that are giving them difficulty, to those interested in taking their talents to the next higher level, as well as developing a competitive skater for both hockey and figure skating.

 Private lessons can be arranged in two ways.  First, fill out a “PRIVATE LESSONS REQUEST” form.  This can be left at the front desk. This form helps the Skating Director match you with a coach who best accommodates your needs.  One of the Forums Professional Team of Instructors will contact you to arrange lessons.  The second way to book a private lesson is by contacting a member of the Professional Team directly.

 Coaches fees vary and are payable directly to the coach at the start of each lesson.  Skate rental (if needed) and ice fees for public skating sessions and/or freestyle and moves in the field sessions are paid to the Forum at Fishers Ice Arena prior to stepping on the ice.  If the fees are not paid, you will not be allowed on the ice.  You will still be responsible for the coach’s fees.

 If you need to cancel a lesson, it is your responsibility to contact the coach directly.  The Forum at Fishers is not responsible for relaying messages.  Any and all policies regarding canceling lessons and coach’s fees are strictly between you and the instructor.

If you have any questions, please contact The Forum at Fishers Ice Arena (317) 849-9930.
