Paradice can offer a number of activities to schools at our 2
Olympic size Ice Arenas at a special discount rate. Over a number
of years we have had schools coming in on a regular basis learning
and improving new skills, Ice skating has become one of their
extra-curricular activities.
We are very keen to introduce schools to Ice Skating by
participating in Skating lessons, so kids learn safely and enjoy
their skating with a sense of achieving new skills through Kiwi Skate a national Skate School Programme
with 12 Badge levels taking skaters up to a level where they can be
competitive in any Ice Skating Sport. Figure Skating,
Ice Hockey and Ice Racing. Ice Skating involves many skills that
will enhance other sports that kids paticipate in ie leg power and
strength, balance, co-ordination, concetration.
We can provide the activity no matter what the weather conditions
are, rain or shine, as we are an indoor facility and open 12 months
a year. If you have to cancel one of your activities due to the
weather we may to be able to accommodate your school. We are able
to cater to a large number of students ie 500+ per visit.
Fundraising Evenings are also available too.
Paradice offers ice sports as an extension to current elective
and sports activities for your school. Add variety to your winter
sports, "Learn to Skate" or "Learn to Play Ice Hockey" for $8.50*
per student. Also recreational skating visits for just $8.50 per
student.
Paradice can customise programmes to fit your school requirements,
with either a single session,
or one session a day or once a week for any period of time. We have
found a six week course (e.g.1 lesson per week) to be the most
effective in progressively improving ice-skating skills.
We would like to encourage your school to take advantage of these
facilities during 2011 and the future.
We have had a number of school group visits for ice-skating and
lessons with favourable results.
"We feel we are very fortunate to have access to such a
valuable local resource while gaining the obvious motor skills of
learning to skate. The children have also benefited in many other
areas of the cirriculum e.g. science (How does the ice stay cold?),
social skills (turn taking), self help skills, fitting equipment)
are just a few."
