Welcome to Etelä-Karjalan Luistelutähdet
Etelä-Karjalan Luistelutähdet ry is a new figure skating club based in Imatra and Savitaipale, Finland.
We offer figure skating opportunities for children and youth of all levels – from beginners to competitive skaters – in a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment.
Our Values
| Joy | The joy of movement and skating is at the heart of everything we do. We want every skater to experience success, fun, and excitement in every session. |
|---|---|
| Community | Everyone matters. We create an encouraging atmosphere where we support one another and celebrate progress together. |
| Goals | We support each skater’s personal ambitions — whether it’s skating for fun or aiming to compete. We encourage long-term development. |
| Safety | Physical and emotional safety are our top priorities. We operate responsibly and intervene if inappropriate behavior occurs. |
Our Groups
We offer three main skating paths:
- Skating School: Fun and playful introduction to skating for beginners aged 3–10.
- Hobby Group: Weekly skating with no competitive pressure, focused on enjoyment and progress.
- Competitive Group: Goal-oriented training for skaters participating in tests and competitions.
