# ALL YEAR ROUND PRIVATE LESSONS (Recommended)

This is the best way to learn to skate having the instructor's full attention for the duration of a lesson. The lesson is tailored to suit the skater's own ability level and progresses at a comfortable pace keeping in mind the anxieties and concerns the new skater anticipates.

# Kids want to skate? (8 to 12 yrs of age)

Then book a private lesson to see if they like skating. Children should be taught the basics properly from the start. This is a good way to start inline skating giving the junior skater an opportunity to skate correctly from the very beginning. The £10 cost (pay on the day) includes hire of skates (proper free rolling skates with heel-brake) and safety pads all provided at the lesson, just bring your cycle helmet, compulsory. The accompanying adult must be in attendance during the entire lesson.
