Kids Club classes
Next class: Sunday 5th February 10.00am – 11.1am
Where? The Boat House, Serpentine Road.
How Much? £10

These fun filled group classes are suitable for kids aged 7-11 of any ability level. Complete beginners are welcome but all skaters must be able to stand and roll unassisted in order to attend the class. We expect most skaters to have trouble stopping, however if they cannot stand without being held then we recommend a private lesson before attending the group class. Its an ideal way to get your child started on inline or quads skates.

This year Skatefresh is also running two week-long Kids skate courses. Scroll down for more details.

Kid’s Club in Action:

Using games and rolling activities we will guide your child through the basic skills of inline skating, ensuring they have lots of fun and plenty of movement. We will focus on skate safety, stopping methods, and giving them a variety of exercises to support their learning.

Please note that children must wear complete safety gear (knee pads, wrist pads and helmet) as they will otherwise not be allowed to participate in the class.

Bookings are essential for each class, to make one follow the links below:

SKATE CAMPS

Skatefresh is running two week-long skate courses this year. For five days children will improve their overall skating, add new skills to their rolling repertoire and gain skating confidence. The days will be filled with fun activities on skates, games, skate exercises and the chance to make skating friends by skating with the same group of children for a whole week.

The courses will be held in Hyde Park from 10.00am – 1.00pm each day. The children will have to bring a snack which they will eat together during a break. The tuition is £125 for the week. However if you book by and pay by April 16th for the half term course or 18th June for the summer course you will get a earlybird booking discount and only pay £110 for the course. The age limit for the course is 7-10 years.

A note about kids inline skates

There are many brands of children’s inline skates, some are better than others. If children come to classes wearing all plastic skates (usually at less than £35), it is unlikely they will be able to learn very thoroughly. These plastic skates do not have high ‘rollability’ and many maneuvers must be learned while free rolling. To test your children’s skates, hold it up and spin one of the wheels with your hand as fast as you can. It should free roll for at least 3 seconds. If it doesn’t and stops quickly then whatever your child does, however great their technique, their skates are not designed to roll. This is worth mentioning as when this happens in class it can be very disappointing for them (as they have the expectation of rolling).
