Winter training

During the winter season (from October to March) we train at the ice rink, where we focus on our skating technique, enjoyment, and endurance.

The practices are held at three levels. So, whether you’ve been skating on ice since you could walk or have never put on ice skates before, you can join us! The training groups are:

GroupStart Training
Beginners*8:00 PM
Advanced 17:45 PM
Advanced 27:45 PM
*Please note! The beginners’ training takes place at the ice hockey rink inside of the 400 meter track!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

  • To join the practices you need a valid Tilburg University Sports Center subscription.
  • You will gain access to the ice rink by scanning a QR code (like at the Sports Center). You can do so at the T-Kwadraat counter (see the image below), where you will get a ticket for the ice rink. Make sure to have installed the Sports Center app on your phone.
  • Wearing a helmet and gloves is mandatory. T.S.S.V. Braga has several helmets, of which you can borrow one.
  • The practices focus on long track speed skating. Therefore, it is mandatory to wear long track speed skates. You can rent those at the ice rink.
  • We advise you to wear multiple layers of warm clothes, such that you can take off / put on layers depending on the temperature.
