Skating & Artistic Roller Club Equipment: Securing Jumps
Equipping Your Club for Jump Training: Safety and Performance
Learning jumps (Axel, doubles, triples) is at the heart of progression in figure skating, whether on ice, quad skates, or inline skates. However, this technical step is often hindered by a major obstacle: the fear of falling.
For clubs and coaches, equipping with professional assistance equipment is no longer a luxury, but an educational necessity.
Why invest in training equipment?
A well-equipped club attracts more members and develops better competitors. Integrating a jump harness system and a guiding pole offers three major advantages to your facility:
- Secure students (and reassure parents): The harness eliminates the risk of serious injuries (hips, wrists, back) during initial rotation attempts. Parents are reassured to see their child progressing in an ultra-safe environment.
- Unlock psychological barriers: By removing the fear of falling, the skater concentrates 100% on their technique (axis, impulse, closure). Progress is often remarkably fast.
Protective Gear: Equipping Your Members
Safety doesn't stop at the harness. Wearing technical protective shorts (hip protectors) is an essential complement to secure falls during independent practice.
Two options are available to your facility:
- Club purchase: Build up a stock of shorts in different sizes (S, M, L) that you lend to students during jump sessions. This is a premium service that adds value to your club.
- Recommendation to parents: If your club cannot invest immediately, it is very common to recommend individual purchase.
-
- Benefit: The skater has personal, hygienic, and perfectly fitted equipment.
- Our service: We can provide you with materials (digital flyers or technical sheets) to send to parents to guide them towards the most suitable model for their child.

Ice, Quad, and Inline Skating: A Universal Pedagogy
The biomechanical principles of jumping (take-off, initiation, rotation, landing) are similar on ice and on wheels. Our equipment, such as harnesses and protective shorts (hip protectors), is designed to perfectly adapt to the constraints of these three disciplines. Whether you are a FFSG or FFRS affiliated club, our solutions meet your sporting requirements.
💡 How to fund your equipment? Think about grants!
The main obstacle for a club is often the budget.
However, it is very common and highly recommended to have this type of equipment financed by external aid.
The purchase of a jump harness perfectly fits the criteria for developing sports practice and preventing injuries. You can solicit:
- Your Town Hall / Municipality: Via exceptional sports equipment subsidies.
- Your League or Departmental/Regional Committee: Which often have budgets to help clubs professionalize.
- The National Sports Agency (ANS): As part of Federal Sports Projects (PSF), the purchase of safety equipment is a very valid reason.
