Level of course Beginners --> Intermediate
Book for the month to take part in three consecutive weekly sessions aimed to strengthen the foundations in your roller skating and build your confidence. Each session is 1.5 hours giving lots of time to practice and feedback to be given. We will be covering core principles involved including in roller skating including balancing, using your weight and body, positing your feet and learning to use and control your edges. Group sizes are kept small for maximum learning.
Unfortunately, this course is unsuitable for a complete beginner who is putting on skates for the first time. It's for those with some skating experience who want to improve their confidence and technique.
If you are a brand-new skater putting on your skates for the first time, I recommend initially doing a Level 1 course with a provider like Roll Happy or Leon (aka Landshark Skating), who can get you up and running. They both offer a range of dates and locations.
In my Foundations class, most students have done some skating before. Skaters wanting to attend should be able to move forward and slow down. Your technique doesn’t need to be perfect, as we’ll work on this in class, but you should be able to stand up and move forward.
If you are still deciding if the class is suitable, contact me or come by for a single drop-in session to see how you get on.

Protective Gear
Protective wrist guards and knee pads are advised for your safety while learning. Helmets are elbow pads if you want extra protection.
Toe stops or Jam plugs
Toe stops or Jam plugs are required to protect the floor. Although Jam plugs are advised for the type of skating we will be learning as it gives you more room to move your feet. However newer skaters are often more confident starting out with the stoppers so please wear whichever you feel confident with.
Clothing
Please also wear clothes that you are comfortable skating in and allow freedom of movement.
And bring water!
