Private lessons are designed to improve skills at any level and enhance your skating experience.

Lefrak Center at Lakeside employs two tiers of coaches, Senior Staff and Junior Staff. Both tiers are available for private (one skater/one coach) or semi-private (two skaters/one coach) lessons.

Senior Staff Coaches are always available for private or semi-private lessons. These lessons can take place during our General Skating or Freestyle sessions, depending on your skating level and the skills you want to work on.

To arrange for a private lesson with a Senior Staff Coach, please complete our Private Lesson Request Form. This form is submitted to our Skating Director, who will connect you with a member of our Senior coaching staff. You can expect a response within 72 hours of your request. Please note that Senior Staff Coaches determine their own fees.

Junior Staff Coaches are also available for lessons, but these lessons must be arranged with the Skating Director and are introductory lessons only. Junior Staff Coaches are permitted to teach a maximum of three lessons with any student. These lessons must be paid for and tracked at our Cashier Stations.

When you come to the rink for your lesson, we will ask for your name, your coach’s name, and the number of lessons you’ve taken.

After the third lesson, you will be given the opportunity to continue your private lessons with a Senior Coach. Please consult with the Skating Director for assistance.

You may also work with a non-staff coach or Guest Coach. Guest Coaches are welcome to teach during weekday freestyle sessions only, for a fee equivalent to the cost of the ice time of any given session.

Guest coaches must sign our Guest Coach Agreement and provide all required documentation to be permitted to teach on a freestyle session.

Without proper documentation on file at the rink, a Guest Coach cannot teach under any circumstances. Please make sure your Guest Coach’s paperwork is on file before you purchase admission.

Coaching, teaching or instruction or any nature is not permitted except as authorized by rink management, whether or not the coach, teacher or instructor receives remuneration.
