ENTERING THE ZONE
5 days of skating in a row — Monday to Friday, every day 17:00–18:30 in Park Szczęśliwicki (Ochota, Warsaw).
A small group at one level and the same instructor guiding the kids all week. For children who have already made their first steps on skates and want to skate with confidence.
We design the course for one specific group: children aged 7–8 at beginner level who already have their first steps on skates behind them. That way the whole group practises the same things and nobody waits for the rest to catch up.
Your child is just outside the age range, or you’re not sure about the level? Call us — we’ll honestly tell you whether the course is the right place for them.
The whole course is led by Zuza
From the first day to the last, the group works with the same instructor — Zuza, who teaches children to skate at the Zone4Rollin school.
One instructor for the whole week makes a real difference: Zuza knows every child by name, knows what the group worked on yesterday and adjusts the exercises as she goes. Kids get a familiar face, clear rules and a sense of safety — and parents get one contact who truly sees their child’s progress.
Movement habits are built with frequency. Five days of skating in a row brings results that would take months of weekly classes — with no “forgetting” between sessions.
All the children are a similar age and at the same stage. Exercises hit the spot, and holiday friendships happen along the way.
Long enough to seriously practise technique and still play games on skates. Short enough that a 7–8-year-old finishes hungry for the next day.
From “I can sort of skate” to confident skating: turns both ways, plough braking and speed control. On Friday the kids test it all on an obstacle course.
We work with our school’s proven programme — the same one that takes children from first steps to sport-level skating at our day camps and in the sports section. On this course we focus on the “after first steps” stage:
After 5 days your child:
← Swipe to see the whole week →
We get to know each other and check the group’s level. Safety refresher: pads, stance, controlled falling and getting up. Warm-up games.
Longer push-offs, gliding on both skates, swizzles. We work on flow and balance in motion.
Slalom between cones, the A-turn, shifting body weight. Weaving around obstacles on the park paths.
The plough, emergency roll-off onto grass, speed control. We combine everything into longer rides around the park.
A recap of the whole week and a mini-contest to finish the course: an obstacle course where the kids show what they’ve learnt.
The order of topics may change depending on the group’s progress and the weather — we cover the whole plan, but flexibly.
Classes take place in Park Szczęśliwicki in Ochota — the largest recreational area in this part of Warsaw. We start on the safe asphalt square by the CSN Szczęśliwice building, and as the group progresses we move onto the wide park paths. It’s exactly the same base our day camps and group classes use.
No gear? Our rental in Park Szczęśliwicki has skates, helmets and pads in children’s sizes — mention it when signing up or give us a call and we’ll prepare a set for your child.
Sign-up is online through the ZoneCloud system — current dates and the course price are in the table below. After signing up you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail with payment details; you’ll also find them in your ZoneCloud account under “my sign-ups”.
This course assumes the first steps are behind the child: they stand on skates on their own, can roll a few metres and get up after a fall. If your child is starting from zero, private lessons are a much better start — the instructor works at the child’s own pace — and we’ll be happy to see you on a future edition of the course.
We keep the 7–8 range so the group is genuinely even. If your child is just outside the range and matches the group’s level — get in touch, in certain cases we make exceptions.
Inline skates (wheels in a single line, not quads) with working bearings, a solid helmet and a full set of wrist, elbow and knee pads with a hard plastic layer. Top-shelf equipment isn’t required — what matters is that it fits and works.
A helmet and a full set of pads are mandatory at our classes.
No. Our rental in Park Szczęśliwicki has skates, helmets and pads in children’s sizes. Mention it when signing up or call us and we’ll prepare a set for the whole course. It’s also a good way to check sizing before buying your own skates.
Skating needs a dry surface — in the rain, classes in the park can’t take place safely. We track the weather closely: if any course day is at risk, we’ll contact parents before the class and agree on a solution together.
There’s no need — the children are under the instructor’s care for the whole session. That said, Park Szczęśliwicki is a lovely place to wait: paths, benches and cafés are right there, so many parents simply stay in the park and watch the progress from the side.
Group classes are regular weekly training across the whole season, in groups of various levels. The course is 5 days in a row in a closed group at one level — an intensive format with a visible jump in skills within a single week.
The two formats complement each other: after the course many children continue with group classes.
The natural path at our school is group classes through the season, summer roller-skating day camps, and for kids fully hooked — the sports section with training and competitions.
The full-day summer option, 8:30–17:30 — skating, pool, trampolines and lunches. Ages 6–12.
Regular training in Warsaw parks all season — the natural continuation after the course.
Learning from zero, 1:1 with an instructor — ideal before the course if your child doesn’t skate yet.
We’re happy to answer questions about your child’s level, gear and course dates.
