Our aim is to help you skate confidently, forwards, backward, stop, cross over and turn. These lessons will help beginner skaters become used to skating and develop skills on the rink.

At the end of the course, you will be introduced to some roller sports coaches that you may want to follow. They have skills ranging from Roller Derby, Hockey, Artistic, Freestyle, Speed Skating, and Jamming. 

You will also receive a Rollerworld certificate upon completion of each award.
