The beginning of the school year is fast approaching and everyone is busy making last minute preparations to ensure a successful first day back. The school year is riddled with exams, looming project deadlines and worksheets to complete. Children often come home after a long day at school ready to let loose, but often have nothing to do. The result of this is often a gravitation towards video games and other similar activities. If you find your child has no productive after school activities, there is a solution. Go roller skating! Grabbing some rink time is a perfect alternative to video games and binge watching television. Here’s is why you should make Skate World Deer Park your next after school destination!

Reasons Roller Skating is a Great After School Activity

1. It’s Fun – Though most don’t think of exercise as being fun, roller skating is the perfect mix of both!
2. Affordable – You might be thinking “This all sounds great so far, but isn’t it expensive?” No! Going to the rink is a very affordable and fun outing. This enjoyable evening out won’t break the bank!
3. Great Exercise – Instead of being sedentary on the couch, let’s get up and get active! Roller skating is recommended by the American Heart Association as a great aerobic activity.
4. Social – Roller skating is a great way for your child to see current friends and make new ones! If you have made a recent move, hitting the rink might be a great way for your child to meet new friends!
5. Better Brain for School – Studies have shown that regular exercise is a great way to boost the brain’s cognitive function. Regular roller skating could lead to better school performance!
