Please take 15 minutes and watch this before your first class and again after some time as it will all make more sense after some practice.
Our passionate team of Roll Right, Rollerfit, RSA and/or SkateIA certified and insured instructors provides In-line and Roller Skate instruction in Oregon. Our collective goal is to help you gain control of your skates so they do what you want them to do. You will learn how to take your skates for a ride instead of lacing up and hoping for the best. We create a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment. We’re all dedicated to deliver skate instruction at your pace in a safe and mindful way. We can’t wait to share with you what we know. Skating is therapy for a lot of us and we want you to have access to this joyous therapy too.
We offer a variety of group classes.
Roll Right is the Learn-To-Skate curriculum we use to teach skaters who need to learn and strengthen foundational skate skills.
