Unfortunately you cannot use rollerblades as the centres will not allow
them.
Children under 8 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
So if you come and learn to rollerskate with All Star Skating
in Bolton, Horwich or both if you wish, you will receive free skating
tuition and free certificates. We accept all ages and abilities.
Beginners to competition standard.
What can I expect on my first visit?
As you are welcomed by Steve or Becky and given your
skates you will notice all the other skaters practising their skills.
Steve will then take you over to the barrier and try to explain the
difference between walking and skating (ha) and will soon have you
rolling along. All our skaters are at different levels of skill so
there's no need to feel embarrassed. Our structured grading system
allows everyone to progress at their own pace and although most people
pass certificate 1 on their first or second visit there is no rush, if
you can't do a skating element right now, with tuition and practice,
you soon will.
After the lessons we have about 30 minutes of general skating and you
can have a go at Steve's 'roller limbo', (how low can you go)
Followed by 30 minutes of roller dance. Glide waltz, Olympic foxtrot
etc etc.
Tuition and Certificates Free of Charge!
It is our aim to teach our skaters all aspects of
artistic roller
skating i.e. figures, free skating and roller dance and so
we
don't
charge for tuition or certificates. We hope that some of our skaters
will represent the club in competitions.
And Finaly
Artistic
Roller Skaters
learn
many life skills in their training, often
greatly improving their self-esteem and confidence, which can trickle
down into better performance in school and closer relationships with
their parents. Poise and body awareness are gained. Fitness guidelines,
sports psychology and nutritional tips, along with goal setting and the
value of perseverance in attaining goals, motivation and
self-discipline are also learned.
We have people coming from all over the north west of England to
skate. From the red rose county of Lancashire, Manchester and
beyond. From Bolton,
Farnworth, Westhoughton, Horwich as well as
Chorley and Addlington. We even have someone travelling all the way
from
Chester. Perhaps your an ice skater? Why not try rollers? It will help
with your ice skating.
Why not give it a try. Learn to roller skate. We work hard but most of
all we have FUN!!
