This course is for you if: You are new to skating and want to become a strong beginner skater with great fundamental roller skating skills. Perhaps you can skate a little bit but are unsure about how to improve your technique and build confidence? This course is for you!
This course is not for you if: you have never put on your skates before. You don’t need to have spent hours on skates, but we want participants to have a little bit of balance before joining this Level 1 course. This course is for adults only (18+).
