A good place to start
A learn-to-play programme can be a better starting point than joining an established team's practice.
What to compare
- Skating level
- Protective equipment and beginner programme
Start with a taster
Ask for a beginner session and find out what equipment you can borrow. Afterwards, think about the teaching, atmosphere and journey as well as the activity itself. The best routine is one you enjoy returning to.
