Our neighboring metropolis, Houston, suffered intense damage due to Hurricane Harvey. Thousands of people are misplaced, homes are destroyed, and life seems to be at a standstill. However, America has stepped up to help the people affected by Hurricane Harvey, and Skate World wants to do the same.

Take a look at four ways we can join forces to help the relief efforts:

Donate Money

Donating money is extremely helpful for organizations during a time of crisis. They are able to use the money to buy essential items immediately. Remember when donating money to make sure the organization is credible. You can view a list of established, legitimate organizations here.

Donate Food

Local food banks are distributing food to those in need, but the food supply is running low. Non-perishable food items are needed such as cereal bars, power bars, beef jerky, applesauce, crackers, etc.

Donate Blood

Unfortunately, Hurricane Harvey injured many people. The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center needs over 2,000 units of blood, specifically O positive and O negative, to aid those who lost blood. Donating blood is donating life. Find a blood drive near you.

Donate Supplies

Shelters need your donations to help the people of Houston. Clothes of all sizes will help clothe those affected by the storm since many left their homes with nothing but the shirt on their back. Toys such as puzzles or books are greatly appreciated for the many kids who are in shelters and need to be preoccupied.

Because of the unstable situation in Houston and the overabundance of standing water, it is vital that rescue and relief efforts are left to trained professionals. However, with your donation, you are contributing greatly!

At Skate World Deer Park, we know the skating rink is a great place to spend some time with your family. Next time you’re skating with your loved ones, try these games to make it even more fun! We might even play one of them during our next open skate hours! 

• Relay Races. Turn racing into a cooperative game by racing in teams! Make sure to match up skaters of similar age, so that young kids aren’t racing in the same lap as adults.
• Freeze Tag. This variation on tag makes things a little more interesting. One person is “It,” just like normal, and when they tag someone, that person has to freeze. Another skater can then tag the frozen person to “Unfreeze” them. If everyone gets frozen, the person who is “It” wins!
• Four Corners. This game starts with everyone skating in a circle, as usual. Each corner gets a number. When the music stops, the designated person closes their eyes and everyone skates to one of the corners. The designated person calls out a number, and everyone in that corner is eliminated. The game continues until only one person is left, and that person wins!
• Limbo. Roller skates add a unique challenge to this classic game. Make sure not to touch the bar or the ground–that’s how you get disqualified.

Not a great skater? No worries! At Skate World Deep Park we also offer lessons! These skating games will bring your family together and help everyone get active while having fun.

Roller-skating is an activity that, once learned, will keep a kid entertained until they have kids and grandkids of their own. Unlike many family activities, skating is just as much fun for a 7 year old as a 17 year old, and it’s still fun when you’re 70! But how do you know when your child is old enough to learn to skate?

What’s a Good Age to Learn to Skate?

Balance is key when it comes to mastering roller-skates. Most young toddlers don’t have the agility necessary to stay upright on skates, which is a trickier skill than walking or running. But by the time kids reach preschool age, their innate sense of balance has improved enough that they should have no problem learning to skate. If your 4 or 5 year old shows an interest in roller-skating, let them learn! Skate World has classes to teach them the skating basics step-by-step, so they’re confident the first time they hit the rink. It’s also a good idea for young kids to use a Skate Mate, skate near a wall, or skate holding a parent’s hand until they’re confident balancing on their own. But watch out! Once they master their wheels, they’ll be cruising all over the place. We call that a win for your next family play day.

Skate World Deer Park is the place to be, whether you’re looking for roller-skating lessons or a fun place to practice with the kids. Visit us 6 days a week during summer skating sessions, which end on August 28th.

Corporate skating parties are a great way to build office camaraderie, congratulate your team for their hard work, and instill a renewed passion for your company in every employee. And what corporate outing would be complete without team building games? Skip the trust falls and awkward get-to-know-you exercises; your whole office will love these roller-skating team building games.

The Possibilities Are Endless . . .

Teach your team to think more creatively about everyday objects. First break into small teams. Hand each team an object, like a notebook or a pool noodle. Each person must demonstrate a creative use for that object. After everyone has had a turn, ask the teams to come up with one last demonstration as a group. The truly inventive teams will incorporate their skates into the exercise!

Overcoming Every Obstacle

We recommend added safety precautions (such as kneepads) for this one. Split your company into teams. You can divide the teams based on department, or mix things up to encourage overall company cohesion. Each team must choose a spokesperson, a skater, and a spotter. The skaters will put on blindfolds (and skating pads, if you have them). Once their eyes are safely covered, the judge will arrange obstacles like traffic cones around the rink. Each team’s spokesperson will coach their skater through the obstacle course, while the spotter skates beside them, ready to intervene in case of trouble. Each intervention means docked points, so the better the communication between the spokesperson and the skater, the better each team will do!

Every Person Counts

Relay races are a classic skating game that teach teamwork skills. Divide into teams, and have each team number off their skaters. This lets each person know when to get into position. Give the first round skaters a baton, and you’re off to the races! After completing a lap of the rink, each skater must pass the baton to the next person on their team. In the end, it will take every skater to win.

• Camp Field Trips

Many kids all over the country enjoy going away to summer camps during the summer. It is a time to meet new friends and spend time with friends from home.

What do you do when the kids go into couch potato mode? Send them outside! Summer means there’s always something to do, from outdoor sports to pool time to trips to the park and playground. But summer also means kids have a higher risk for heat exhaustion. Protect your kids from the summer sun with these tips from Skate World Deer Park.

Heat Safety for Kids

Kids are more likely to dehydrate or get heat exhaustion than their parents. That’s because kids’ bodies have fewer sweat glands, so they can’t adapt as quickly to extreme temperatures. Heat stroke is a serious risk during summers in Texas. To protect your child from heat stroke, practice summer sun safety:

• Never leave your child in a parked car
• Don’t play outside during the hottest part of the day (11am to 4pm)
• Apply a sweat-resistant sunscreen 30 minutes before playing outside (and reapply often)
• Move to the shade when the kids start getting tired
• Save high-exertion activities for overcast days
• Keep everyone well hydrated with water and electrolyte-rich sports drinks
• Be on the lookout for symptoms of heat-illness in your kids

Summer Fun (Out of the Sun)

Beat the heat with summer skating! When you visit Skate World Deer Park, you never have to worry about heat exhaustion, sunburn, or dehydration. The kids can skate for hours in our air-conditioned roller-skating center. We also have a snack bar stocked with pizza, nachos, chips, candy bars, drinks, and other refreshments so the kids can stay energized while they skate. Sign the kids up for summer skating lessons and enjoy our summer sessions as a family.

Fundraisers, if planned properly, can be both enjoyable and profitable for your church, school, or other community organization. If you want to throw a successful fundraiser, skip the carwashes and bake sales. Turn your regular fundraiser into a FUNdraiser at Skate World Deer Park.

Reasons to Have a School FUNdraiser

There’s something about the summer season that makes everything feel a bit magical, even if you’re grown up and you don’t have “summer breaks” anymore. Summer is a time when kids are happy because they’re out of school, the weather is beautiful (as long as you have AC), and your sense of adventure starts stirring from its winter nap. That makes it the perfect time of year to learn something new. Why not consider taking up a new activity? Sign up for skating lessons at Skate World Deer Park?

If you’re thinking about trying something new this summer season, then skating lessons might be exactly what you’re looking for. Roller skating is an activity that’s been around for a decades (or centuries, if you want to get technical). And it still manages to be a blast! There’s just nothing like cruising around a skating rink with your friends and family, mastering new skating tricks, or testing out your speed skating. It’s fun, it’s great exercise, and it’s an activity that you can do inside or outside, meaning that neither rain nor heat can stop you from skating! Skate World Deer Park also offers a variety of skating lessons to choose from including, beginners lessons, private beginners skate lessons, and group beginners lessons.

When you take skate lessons at Skate World Deer Park, you’ll be taught all of the tips and tricks you’ll need to know to skate like a pro. Lessons will help you learn how to stand, stop, skate forwards and backwards, play games and race on skates, and much more. Lessons take place on Friday nights from 6-7 pm, so there’s no need to bump your post-work plans. Don’t own a pair of roller skates? No problem! All skate lessons include a pair of rental skates, so all you have to bring to the lesson is yourself.
