Indoor Termly Courses

Our indoor season is October - April. Generally we run BOOKED classes and courses only - there are limited "drop in" sessions, though we do run OPEN Skates which serve this purpose. These are not rollerdisco's, these are practise sessions lasting up to 3 hours.

  • There are several instructors at each class to cater for the varying skill levels of the groups.
  • We have skate hire - so if you have never tried this before - you don't even need to invest in the equipment.

This year we are trying something different and offering half day intensive group courses, for 4 hours - Focusing on specific groups of skills. The Beginners course is just for beginners, the Flow course is just for experts. The others are for advanced beginners upwards. There is no age limit.

Each half day will start at 9 and have 3 hours of teaching and 1 hours practise. The practise hour will be open session (open to the public) and will have a seperate kids club to keep the kids out from under your feet!

Something for everyone!
