School Sessions

Teaching skating in schools was written into our constitution during our formarion with the successful Skates4Schools programme now running for over 13 years and proven to be a very popular activity with hundreds of pupils who are disengaged with PE.

Our goal is to have inline skating available to all school pupils nationally, even better would be to have inter-school rollersports leagues. Most of our sessions have been in schools around Forth Valley as planned although the Skates4Schools concept has been incredibly popular with many sessions many being delivered between Forth Valley and the Scottish Borders by school staff.

We're promoting our sport to the next generation of skaters and we can't do this it alone. The process involves bringing coaches into your school to deliver the sessions initially then we train your staff to deliver using proven skate instruction techniques. This ensures that each school is self sufficient to deliver safe inline skating sessions. Some of our members have over 50 years personal skating experience and can easily adapt the sessions to different levels as required. Once proficient the school staff can then train staff from other schools to run sessions too. During the early stages any schools involved are welcome to borrow skates from our skate library until they have their own kit.
