What to bring to the lessons?
Kindly contact us if you need to rent or buy equipment. For every class following equipment is a must:
Bring the roller skates of your choice, this can be either inline skates or quad skates
Wearing protective gear (Helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, wrist pads.) while skating is essential for safety, injury prevention, and compliance with regulations. The wearing of the protection kit is mandatory and ensures that skating stays a fun and injury-free activity. It also gives confidence, knowing you are well protected, this will fasten up the overall training process.
Appropriate sports clothing and sneakers are important for comfort during physical activity. Usually we start the warm-up with sneakers.
Bringing enough water is important during lessons as hydration is crucial for maintaining physical performance and preventing dehydration, especially during the hot summer months. Plastic bottles are recommended specially because they do not break easily and do not pose a risk of injury if dropped or mishandled
When to book the lesson?
We highly appreciate it when the lessons are booked as early as possible. A minimum of 2 hours in advance is mandatory. It gives our coaches the time to prepare the lessons accordingly. Also, it ensures that you can join your preferred lesson since the classes have limited spots.
