Learn to Roller Skate with us! Saturday Morning Skating Lessons

Roller skating can be so much fun - when you know how!  Every Saturday morning, we have about 100 people of all ages join us for skating lessons.  Beginning at 9am, our instructors divide into groups and provide individualized instruction to those wanting to learn to roller skate - safely and confidently.

Going roller skating that very first time can sometimes be very scary - no matter what age you are.  Our Saturday morning lessons are a great time for you to get the feel of the skates (and standing on them) - while at the same time knowing you're not alone.

One of the the things we constantly hear is how affordable and fun our lessons are.  We charge $25.00 for 5 weeks of lessons (that's it) and skates are included. If you're unsure or want to pay weekly, it's only $5.50 per lesson.  Still not a bad deal, huh?

After the hour of instruction, students like to stay for the 10-12:30 session (FREE of course!).  This is a great  time to practice everything you've learned.

If you have any questions or if you need some help getting started, simply give us a call at (623) 842-1181.
