Learn to skate

We welcome anyone who wants to skate, whether you’ve skated before or not. Skaters of all genders, fitness and experience levels age 16+ are invited to join our community, and our experienced skaters are eager to teach you everything you need to know.

We run multiple new-skater intakes throughout the year for our fantastic learn-to-skate program. We will teach you all the basics, such as proper skating form, agility, stopping, and even falling! Our goal is to help you become confident on wheels whilst having fun and making some awesome new friends!

Our learn-to-skate sessions run on Wednesdays, 7:00pm - 9:00pm at Beacon Hill Memorial Hall.

Derby Skills

So you’ve got the basics down pat, and now you want to see if roller derby is for you. Learn all about blocking, hitting, gameplay, and skating in close proximity to your awesome new friends. We will teach you the ins and outs of derby, and help you to become a fearless and skilled skater.

These sessions are for our intermediate and advanced skaters, and drills are scaled appropriately to participants’ experience and skill levels.

Our derby skills sessions run on Sundays, 11am - 1pm at Northern Beaches PCYC.
