Tim's Figure Skating Coaching

Ankle Squeakers

 

Home

Kids love these!

Use masking tape to attach these to your boot,  for skaters who jump in the most common direction (to the left),  it is the top right hand side of the right hand boot,  see picture.   Then if the skater is wearing stockings these are pulled down to cover the squeaker and keep it in place.

It then makes a squeak when skaters make ankle contact in a jump.  Use it for training air position in doubles and triples.

A packet of 4 costs around $2,  a role of masking tape $2.50.

These are hard to find in pet stores, order them online from Petsmart.com or http://www.arcatapet.com,  search for Dr. Noys material dog replaceable squeakers.

Putting the Squeaker on

Place squeaker on right boot for normal rotation direction to left,  use masking tape.

Now put covers or stockings over the top
