Who is it for: Kids and adults

Join our exciting Summer Skate program in Preston, led by the esteemed Andi Dextris.

Session Structure:
Two Levels to Suit Every Skater

Our Summer Skate Program is designed to cater to all skill levels, with two dedicated sessions:

• Group 1 (1:30 PM - 3:00 PM):

Perfect for those just starting out—whether you’re feeling wobbly, nervous, or have no prior experience. This session begins with a 1-hour guided lesson to build confidence and master the basics, followed by 30 minutes of practice and casual skating to solidify your new skills.

• Group 2 (2:30 PM - 4:00 PM):

Designed for skaters who’ve completed a previous program, feel confident skating forward, can come to a stop, and are able to skate backward (slowly). This session kicks off with 30 minutes of practice and casual skating, joining the beginners for a fantastic opportunity to socialise and refine techniques. At 3:00 PM, the guided intermediate class begins, focusing on advanced skills for the next hour.

The 30-minute crossover between sessions is a wonderful chance to connect with fellow skaters, share tips, and enjoy the community vibe! 🛼✨

If you don’t have your own skates, you can hire them for the duration of the program with the option to buy at the end. You can also purchase brand new skates from us at a discounted price. Email Belle if you’re interested in purchasing new skates/protective gear for the program.
