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 two levels — beginner and intermediate — and one instructor for the whole week: a figure-skating specialist. For children who have already made their first steps on skates: we teach confident skating and the first figures — spins, the spiral, pirouettes and skating backwards.
The course is for children aged 7–9 who already have their first steps on skates behind them — both those still finding their confidence and those skating freely who want to try figures. We run two levels, beginner and intermediate, and we pick figure-skating elements that can be picked up both with less and with more skating experience.
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 Klaudyna
From the first day to the last, the group works with the same instructor — Klaudyna, a Zone4Rollin instructor specialising in figure skating on inline skates, who teaches skating from scratch to both children and adults. Thanks to her specialisation, figure skating isn’t an add-on here but a daily part of the programme: spins, the spiral, pirouettes, kicks, backwards skating and edge work.
One instructor for the whole week makes a real difference: Klaudyna 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. With weekly classes a child forgets what they practised last time — here every next day builds on the one before.
The children are a similar age and the course runs at two levels: beginner and intermediate. We pick figure-skating elements that work both with less and with more experience — the instructor shows an easier and a harder version of the same figure.
Long enough to seriously practise technique and lock it in on longer runs. Short enough that a 7–9-year-old finishes hungry for the next day.
From “I can sort of skate” to confident skating: turns both ways, plough braking and the first figures — spins and the spiral. After five days of drills the difference is plain to see.
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. The course stands on two pillars: confident skating plus the basics of figure skating — practised daily, guided by an instructor who specialises in it:
After 5 days your child:
We don’t script what happens on which day — the instructor picks the exercise topics as the group progresses (and as the weather allows). What stays the same is the rhythm of every day:
Classes take place in Park Szczęśliwicki in Ochota — the largest recreational area in this part of Warsaw. The exact spot is the safe asphalt square by the CSN Szczęśliwice building (ul. Drawska 22), right next to the Szczęśliwice Hill — 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, move around on them reasonably well 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.
These are elements known from figure skating moved onto inline skates: spins, the spiral, pirouettes, kicks, backwards skating and edge work — the foundation every figure is built on.
No prior figure skills are needed — we start from zero. The figures are great for balance and skate control, so kids also progress faster in regular skating. This part is led by Klaudyna — an instructor specialising in figure skating.
We keep the 7–9 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. The course is 5 days in a row in a small, closed group — 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.
Regular training in Warsaw parks all season — the natural continuation after the course.
The full-day summer option, 8:30–17:30 — skating, pool, trampolines and lunches. Ages 6–12.
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.
