• A lesson is the best way to stop. Learn to stop before you start! A certified instructor will show you how to control your roll by explaining how to effectively use your new skates' brakes.
• A lesson builds confidence. Certified instructors will help you to gain a basic understanding of the skills involved in inline skating, creating a foundation of solid skills that will increase your confidence on skates.
• A lesson provides a model. How many times have you asked five people the same question, only to receive five different answers? Lessons from certified instructors guarantee you will develop a consistent framework on which you can build. Instructors not only demonstrate proper technique, but can replicate any problem you might have so you can see differences in body position.
• A lesson will allow you to build your skills. Once you have got your foundation, learning more advanced skills is much easier. All more difficult skills, whether hockey, racing or floating along, are a combination of fundamental skills.
• A lesson is not just for kids. Whether you are seven or seventy, there is no better way to improve your skating than by taking a lesson. In 1995, 87,000 people over the age of 55 inline skated. A lesson with a certified instructor is the best & safest way to work your way into your new sport.
• A lesson is safe. After learning a few simple skills with your mind at ease, you will soon be doing what you thought you were afraid to. Certified instructors endorse the use of full protective equipment and will show you how to fall (simulated, of course) & get back up using the gear as protection.
• A lesson provides focus. A certified instructor will help you practice your skills in a fun way. Doing the same thing over & over by yourself may help a bit, but chances are you will get bored & who knows if what you are practicing is right. Practice does not make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect.
• Lessons produce safe skaters. Once you have new skills & confidence under your belt, you will be a safer skater, able to maneuver through the streets & trails with control. You will have more fun & enjoy the surroundings or conversation of a friend & the walkers & bikers will be happy that there is one less flailing skater sharing the path!
• Lessons produce educated skaters. A certified instructor will not only teach you to skate better, but also will be able to suggest places to skate, teach you the IISA Rules of the Road, suggest wheels & bearings for the type of skating you need, tell you about inline magazines, & possibly hook you up with other skaters for group skates, competitions or just chillin' out.
• There is always more to learn! Inline skating offers a smorgasbord of disciplines including racing, hockey, aggressive, fitness, freestyle & skate-to-ski. Lessons will introduce the basics of all these disciplines & one sport can grow into six fun, healthy activities! So What a you waiting for? Call the instructor nearest you for a lesson...Do it today! .........
