Roller Time Skating Academy

Participants learn basic skating techniques such as how to stop, get up if they fall, and how to skate forward and backward. They also learn more advanced skills such as shoot the duck and how to jump as they progress. Skates are provided.

Skaters will learn to do a spiral, shoot the duck backward, complete multiple jumps using only one foot to land, execute different spins, and learn several footwork combination moves. 

Advanced and more dedicated skaters will learn more complicated moves and will have the opportunity to compete in local competitions. 

As these skaters improve and advance through the many skating levels, the possibility of competing at a regional and/or national level may exist.
