Sandown Sports and Ski

Excellent ski school with brilliant instructors. Following a 10 week course with primary school, son is currently doing Autumn term Saturday Ski School before a skiing trip in February. Have also signed up for another term beginning in January till Easter!

We have found instructors Chris, Tom and Connor exceptionally good with the beginners and young children - encouraging, supportive and motivating. While, Chris, Ben and Geoff are excellent with the more experienced skiers on the main slope teaching technique. Sophie, Hayley and other support staff are great with any queries, also the new online booking systems is easy to use. All the staff are friendly, professional and welcoming.

Great for birthday parties and good restaurant/cafe, plus Skywalk experience.

Highly recommend.

I have been a member for many years and it is the first time that I am seeing changes happening in the club.
I can say that I am happy with the new management, and I believe that the club is taking a new direction.
With the new changes we can see that what is coming will be very good.
I hope the parking is on the renovation list.

I love this place!! The staff are incredible and always available to help when needed. The new owners are making such amazing improvements and I cannot wait for my next lunch at The Terrace Bar once the reburishments have been completed :D Cannot recommend this place enough!

Both my kids just completed a two day group beginner course here for 11-16 year olds in preparation for a school skiing trip. The instructor, Ben, was excellent, keeping the kids positive and focused and providing the help needed for them to make really good sustained progress; far more than I expected! Overall an excellent experience that represented very good value for money. Many thanks!

Having never skied before, I had a private lesson with Sam. He was very professional and I had a great time in my hour there. He allowed me to take it at my one pace and id definitely recommend him to any beginners

We booked a sledging and mini ringo party for 6 and 7 year olds. Everyone had a blast and was buzzing at the end. It was a really enjoyable party!

There was a viewing platform, incase parents wanted to watch and all the kids received a short safety briefing and got given helmets. As the host I was slightly worried about the “waivers” but soon felt relaxed once I saw the Sandown Sports team at work.

I would suggest bringing water with you for the party activity as the kids got quite thirsty going up and down the slope.

There was a nice touch at the end of the party, the birthday child was put in the middle of the ringo rings and they were pushed down as a group whilst singing happy birthday.

The tavern staff met us at the slopes to walk us to our party room. The large pizzas were served quickly and were really tasty. The party room had all the decorations already in place, we just needed to bring a cake!

The kids loved it and from a parent perspective everything was catered for apart from a cake! It was a very memorable day!

I booked a Ringo kids party with food afterwards on a Sunday morning. The organisation went well, they responded quickly to the food ordering and concerns about allergies, was informed all the way and that they changed the management. On the day of the party, it was sunny, the kids had a lot of fun on the slopes and us adults were chilling on the Terrace with coffees etc, it felt like we were on holiday. The kids enjoyed their pizza and cake (one of the places you can have a cake with candles, most indoor places now allow only without, also you can leave the cake before the party in their chill room). The staff was very helpful and nice, highly recommend it!

Had a ringo & treetop party for 9yr old they loved it, great fun, great friendly staff, clean throughout and has a nice bar/cafe for the adults, would differently go back, loved ringo's but did get tired last 10min keep climbing back up but all said would do again, tree tops they loved all nervous but loved it all felt safe, check all kids taller then 1. 3 metres ! Picnic area all clean and under cover too which had for whole 3 hours. Great party happy kids!

Came for kids party - 8yr olds. Sledging down the slopes for an hour. The kids had fun. Vegan pizza provided for those who require it and there is not only food but a bar too.

Great Day out for my Boys ~Success Accomplish

We have been using Sandown Ski for weekly lessons for both our kids for 8 years and tuition is excellent. The cafe is also great.

Very nice with most helpful and knowledgeable staff. Money is been spent improving the appearance which is a very good thing. The new gym is very nice with state of the art equipment.Also the revamped squash courts are fantastic.

Spinning

I am not a cyclist and always thought that spinning was not for me as it appeared to be very strenuous and difficult. As a runner I had a knee problem and was not allowed to run. The consultant said that spinning would be very good to help build up the muscles above and below the knee as well as building up stamina. It has really helped a lot and meant that I could avoid having another steroid injection.
It's a pity that some of the spinning classes are not very full which I feel is due to the preconceptions as outlined above. You can go at your own pace and you don’t have to push yourselves as hard as the seasoned cyclists.
The person who takes us is Chris who is very good and explains what you need to do and why, he also includes important warm down exercises afterwards.

Just awesome kids enjoyed it

I have been using the dry ski slopes, absolutely wonderful instructors, Cat, Sophie and Seb, took me from a complete novice and are teaching me to Ski. The instructors are very patient and nothing is too much bother for them. I will be using it lots over the coming years and eagerly waiting for my next lesson. I would highly recommend this place to any person. Just brilliant.

Had a rings and sledging birthday party for my boys there yesterday and THEY LOVED IT!

Great fun for kids outdoors. The ski slopes are fun. The cabins for the birthday party were well heat on a cold day and cosy ( not very big though ). The caffee was very noisy because was full of kids ( as I mentioned it was a cold day ) but after all it is a place for kids , so... grin and bear it. The view from the terrace was amazing. Would definitely go again.

Great Sports Club! I joined around a year ago with a work colleague and we both really enjoy all the facilities.
The staff are friendly, equipment top class and the bar is great value.
I would recommend.

Cannot praise Liz and all the staff highly enough, nothing was too much trouble, and they helped my autistic child on the sky walk by explaining each section and helped him do the bits he was scared of, he finished with a massive sense of achievement and is so proud of himself, not stopped talking about it.
