Suitable for complete beginners

Absolutely no previous roller skate experience is needed to attend this class.  We warmly welcome those who are starting their roller skate journey.

Numbers are limited to ensure we can keep an optimum student to Skate Coach ratio.

Skate hire (including protective pads) available - please ensure you purchase a separate Skate hire ticket for each person requiring skates.

Please note:  The coaching in this class will end up to 10 minutes before the session end to allow for the removal of skates and protection within the session time.

What will we learn?

We will have an instructor to look after our newest roller skaters.  Otherwise our instructor team will assess your current skate level and support you with developing your skills.

Each week we will cover different skills designed to build your confidence in all areas, including:

• getting started
• falling safely
• starting
• stopping
• how to skate backwards
• and a whole lot more!

Remember: Roller skate skills can take months to develop, depending on the skill you want to learn.

What is the difference between a “Practise session” and the other classes you run?

A practise session contains a rink area to skate in an anti-clockwise direction and a cone area will be available for practise throughout the session. Whilst our coaches are available to give tips, this is a session for you to practise independantly.

Classes are structured sessions and are designed to take you through progression of skills - see the separate class descriptions for more details on what the class will cover.

How do I find the venue?

The Ramgarhia Sikh Sports Centre is near Sheepscar Interchange on Chapeltown road. Drive in through the ornate gates and up the slope to the sports hall at the back of the site.

There is plenty of free parking outside the front of the sports centre. Bus stops are right outside the gate.

Please wait in the hallway outside the sports hall until invited in, as we will be finishing the earlier class.
