October is National Roller Skating Month! National Roller Skating Month’s aim is to encourage kids (and adults) to be healthier and more physically active.

Roller skating is a wonderful way to get active. Skating works out over 640 individual muscles and is an amazing aerobic workout. Plus, people of all ages can skate at their own pace. A skating rink is an especially great place for kids to exercise since it’s a secure environment that encourages constant activity.

Don’t worry if you or your kids are a little rusty because we also offer great skating lessons at our Deer Park skate center! For children just starting out, we recommend our Beginner’s Skating Lessons. They’re designed to to teach kids 5-12 years old the fundamentals of skating such as standing on skates, how to fall safely, skating forwards and backwards, how to stop, and how to stay balanced while turning. Beginner’s Skating Lessons are held Tuesdays from 6 pm-7 pm.

We also offer Group Beginner’s Skating Lessons in one and a half hour sessions. These lessons teach basic skating skills and roller skate care. We also have Private Beginner’s Skating Lessons for only $30 for 45 minutes of one-on-one instruction. For an additional $10, you can add skaters to the private lessons, making it a great way for the whole family to learn to skate together!

So make your plans to celebrate National Skating Month with us at our Deer Park skate center! And for more information about our Deer Park roller skating lessons, email us at Morgan.Malone@skateworlds.com.
