What to expect
Confirm whether the organiser means para ice hockey played on sledges or a different activity before choosing a session.
A good place to start
Ask for the recognised sport name, playing surface and required equipment. Then look for a qualified introductory session that matches the confirmed discipline and participant needs.
What to compare
- Correct discipline
- Equipment access and introductory coaching
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.
