Where?
|
|
Although other venues are available around Sydney we require you to take your first couple of lessons at Milsons Point due to the availability of an undercover area in the event of rain.

What Will I Learn?
|
|
We teach according to the United Skate Schools Group which took over from the International Inline Skating Association (IISA ICP)
syllabus covering stopping, moving and turning. We also teach aggressive skating (ramp, street, park) and slalom / freestyle rollerblading on a seasonal basis.
|
For the less ramp or street inclined, and more recreational / fitness focused perhaps you could make your goal becoming proficient enough
to skate at night with the group known as Sydney Bladers. But BEWARE the hills (learn how to stop - WELL) and always wear pads & a helmet!
Ask your instructor for more details about cityskate, social skates, slalom clinics, Sydney's night skating scene and Hyde Park meets.
A few lessons before you venture out on Sydney's streets is highly recommended and we make our lessons fun!

Group v's Private Lessons
|
Whilst in the past we have had large groups of skaters for university recreation courses (such as UNSW, UTS, Macquarie and Sydney Uni) we recommend that if you're new to rollerblading that you either first try a lesson pack of private lessons or limit your group sizes to much less than this. This boosts the quality of your instruction and makes for a more rapid progression. This makes your rollerblading lesson experience safer, more memorable and a lot more fun. As such most of our lessons are taught to individuals or small groups of up to five people that you organise. So you get at least a 5:1 student to instructor ratio. In our experience larger groups' bookings tend to be more unreliable (insert customer excuse such as Fred and Jo cannot make it, etc) so if you wish to book a lesson for a group of 5 you must organise payment prior to the lesson via EFT or PayPal at least 7 days before. That way even if 2 people in your group failed to show they may be able to still obtain a credit towards a future booking subject to our cancellation policy.

Equipment
|
|
Whilst we maintain a great size selection and quantity of K2, Rollerblade, Salomon, Roces and FILA skates plus excellent protective pads we encourage you to bring your own equipment, be seated with all the equipment on and ready to skate to maximise your lesson time. RollerbladingSydney.com.au requires that you wear protective equipment whilst skating. Advise your instructor at the time of sending the booking request whether you'll need us to bring extra equipment. Participants agree to wear pads and helmets at all times during the lesson regardless of ability levels. Participants agree to sign a waiver accepting responsibility for their involvement in rollerblading lessons.
