Level 4: Skate Skills Workshop 17+

Pre-requisite skills:

Level 4 skaters will have a strong understanding of fundamental techniques and application.

Level 4 skaters tend to be confident and ready to try new ways of moving.

You may be a Level 3 skater with elements of Level 4 - come and try the class!

What will we learn?

Our coaches are experienced coaches and skaters - there to support and develop you. During the individual practise parts of the session, we will offer feedback and suggestions for improvement.

You are welcome to put skates on in the hallway so that we can start our warm up promptly. If you arrive late to the session, please ensure you check in with a member of our team and do your best to catch up.

Please expect these skills to take many weeks or months to develop, depending on your previous experience, confidence and amount of practise.

General things to remember

• The ability level for this class is very very wide, we will help you identify your next steps for progression.
• Emphasis in this class is on good technique
• Growth mindset in our skaters is encouraged - this class is designed to push you out of your comfort zone, however all exercises are optional.
• Many of these skills will likely take months or years to perform confidently on a range of surfaces and from high speed - this class gives you the opportunity to practise with coaching support.
• While we would love you to take part in the whole session, our approach is person-centered. That means you do what feels safe for you.

What size hire skates do I need?

We recommend you ask for your regular shoe size. If you try skates on and they're not right for you, we are happy to swap them. Our skate hire is available in full sizes only, from UK 3 - UK 15. You no longer need to book a specific ticket to tell us what size you require.

I have a Skate Pass monthly membership, do I still need to book?

Yes, please still book your spot. Please remember that if you are not able to make it, our cancellation policy does still apply.

Can I bring my own refreshments?

Yes of course. Although please make sure you are not eating and drinking while you skate, that includes chewing gum.

I wear inline skates, can I come?

Yup. We welcome all wheely-booted folks.

I don't identify as a girl, can I come?

Absolutely! The Skate Sanctuary was founded and is run by women, with the support of our fantastic volunteer team, to provide better access to roller skating for all genders and identities, especially marginalised folks.
