Waitlists
If a session is full, join the waitlist. The moment a spot frees, everyone waiting is notified — first to book gets the spot.
For parents
Join your coach by code, pick a session and pay them direct. Waitlists, credits and a calendar feed keep every booking tidy in one account — and it's free to use.

How it works
Your coach shares a rink code or sends an invite link. One tap admits you — no waiting around for an account to be set up.
Browse the coach's open sessions with live remaining spots, then choose the week (or the whole block) and the skater it's for.
Confirm and you're done. The booking lands with the coach against a payment reference, and shows up in your bookings straight away.
No code? You can request to join a coach's rink and they'll approve you.
Paying
Whatever suits you. The money goes straight to the coach against a unique reference — RinkHQ never takes a cut and never holds your payment.
Kept tidy
If a session is full, join the waitlist. The moment a spot frees, everyone waiting is notified — first to book gets the spot.
Paid sessions that get cancelled turn into credits automatically — full value, every time — ready to apply to your next booking.
Subscribe once and every lesson you book appears in your own calendar app — no copying dates across by hand.
Coaches add their EIHA licence and DBS details to their public profile, and they can't take bookings until RinkHQ has reviewed those details — the verified mark only shows once that review has passed. Medical notes you add to your skater carry a severity flag, so anything a coach must read is surfaced first. Read our safeguarding approach.
Free for parents, always
Browse coach pages, join your rink and book in three taps — the money goes straight to the coach.
