What's included & what moves the price

What you're actually paying for

Hockey's cost isn't just ice time — it's coaching, facilities and gear. Here's what's covered and what makes the total go up or down.

🧤

Rental gear

No need to buy skates, stick, helmet or pads to start — rent them. Owning your own kit later is optional, and the pro-shop on the ground floor handles sharpening and gear when you're ready.

🏟️

Two indoor arenas

Training happens on two sheets of ice at Sport Society, Mirdif — a full-size main arena (60×30 m) and a training rink — so groups get proper ice time, not crowded sessions.

🎓

Professional coaches

Sessions are led by professional coaches, not just open ice. You're paying for real instruction and development, which is what makes lessons worth it.

📈

How often you train

The single biggest factor in total cost is frequency. One drop-in is cheap; training several times a week costs more but is far better value per session — and that's where memberships come in.

🎂

Age group & programme

Youth groups U6–U18 and adult classes are priced differently, and Camp Galaxy differs from regular term training. The right plan depends on the player.

👪

More than one player

Signing up siblings or a family changes the picture. Tell us who's playing and how often, and we'll build a plan that fits rather than charge a flat rate.

Value vs other Dubai activities

Good value for what you get

Compared with other structured kids' activities in Dubai — football academies, tennis coaching, swim programmes — ice hockey sits in a similar bracket, and in some ways works out friendlier to start. The first session is free, rental gear removes the usual upfront equipment outlay, and you only invest more as your child genuinely commits. You also get coached time on two indoor arenas in air-conditioned comfort year-round, which is rare in Dubai's climate. We won't quote competitors' prices, but the honest takeaway is simple: hockey is more accessible to try than most people assume.

Frequently asked questions

Is the first session really free?
Yes. Your first trial session at Galaxy is genuinely free, for both kids and adults at all levels, with no commitment. Rental gear is available, so you can come and try ice hockey before spending anything. Just send us the player's age and a note about any experience and we'll book a time.
How much is a hockey lesson in Dubai?
At Galaxy a Camp Galaxy drop-in lesson is 150 AED, and the full Camp Galaxy programme running Tuesday to Friday is 500 AED. Your very first trial is free. Beyond that, the cost of regular lessons and memberships depends on the age group, how often you train and which programme you choose — see the pricing page or message us on WhatsApp for a tailored quote.
Do I need to buy equipment?
No. Rental gear is available, so beginners, newcomers to Dubai and tourists can just show up and skate without buying anything. If you decide to get your own kit later, there's a pro-shop on the ground floor of Sport Society for skate sharpening and gear. Buying equipment is optional and only makes sense once you're sure you want to keep playing.
Are there family or sibling options?
If you're signing up more than one child or a whole family, message us on WhatsApp with the ages and how often you'd like to train. We'll put together a plan that fits and tell you exactly what it costs — we'd rather give you an honest, tailored number than a one-size-fits-all price.
