Stardust - Skating Lessons

In school Lessons Kids On Wheels

Since 1981, Stardust (originally Stardust Enterprises, now Stardust Kids on Wheels) has been visiting local elementary schools to teach children roller skating during their P.E. classes. Our instructors visit each school for one, two or three weeks (depending on the population of the school) and teach basic skating skills and safety rules both for indoor and outdoor skating. We supply the instructor, skates and, if requested, helmets. We visit approximately five or six schools each week and run the program September through June of each year. Between 1981 - 2008, we have been booked in schools in the following districts: Surrey, Langley, Delta, Vancouver, Richmond, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, New Westminster, Whistler, and West Vancouver.

Stardust will supply an instructor and approximately 80 pairs of inline skates in sizes small 10 through adult 10. We will also provide 30 helmets. Schools are responsible for spraying the helmets after use, if necessary. The instructor will wear a helmet during instruction if requested. Our instructor will provide lunch break skating (after their half hour lunch break) as long as a member of your staff is present. Please note: Our instructor is entitled to a minimum of a ten minute break in the morning (recess) and a half hour lunch break.

Our instructor will cover balancing, proper starting and stopping techniques, forward skating, backward skating, crossover, Mohawk turns, and spirals - progressions will depend on the skating abilities of the students in each class. The instructor will spend extra time discussing safety rules and proper equipment for outdoor skating. Discussion will include how to check your own skates to insure they are street safe.
