*Entry-level skate: In the coming summer months, April to September, FNS will organize an FNS 'entry-level skate' on the first Friday of the month. Lower speed, shorter distance. The ideal evening to get acquainted with the Friday Night Skate if you have no experience skating with a group or you are unsure whether you can keep up the pace. The entry-level skate is also suitable for quads.
