Penistone Skate School

About Penistone Skate School

Have you seen other people doing tricks and wondered how they do it? Or have you struggled to get going and want a bit of help? Do you want to skate faster and more confidently? Lessons will take you from where you are to somewhere better, with a lot of fun on the way.

Penistone Skate School is run by Rachel, who is a qualified ICP instructor with 5 years experience of teaching skating. We also have assistant coach, Gabriel, who will be in most lessons.

Booking classes

The next block of 6 lessons will start after half term, on 13th June. They are on Sunday evenings, starting from 5pm. There are also some 2hr holiday sessions at half term – ‘Learn to skate’ or ‘Skating Skills’.

If there are no spaces in the class at your level, scroll down to the waiting list and fill in your name so we can contact you when there is space.

About the classes

Note that lessons are for INLINE skates, ones with wheels down the middle. They feel less stable to start with, but once you get going they are more manoeuvrable and easier to learn new skills in.

Classes are for children aged 5 and over, and adults – a lot of families learn together. Numbers are kept low, with up to 10 people, so everyone gets enough attention and can improve. You can book a block of six 1 hour lessons, or a one off session in the holidays.

Levels

  • The beginner class is for people who haven’t skated at all, or who have tried but found it difficult to get going. You will learn to skate confidently, turn and fall over safely.
  • The intermediate class is for people who can skate confidently around the room already, but want to learn how to go backwards, do ‘lemons’, stop and do faster skating.
  • The advanced class is for people who want to jump, turn tightly and learn some more impressive looking stops and transitions from forwards to backwards.

We play games at all levels to have fun, and also to practice skills without thinking about them too much!

Adult skating classes

Do you (and maybe some friends) want to try something different?

We also run adult skating classes, where you can learn without the distraction of children. These are run in six week blocks when there is enough demand, so if you are interested please fill your name in on the waiting list.

In these classes, everyone works at their own pace. You can spend the 6 weeks making slow and cautious progress, and when you are ready, we can teach you new skills.
