“I would love to attend a Roller Girl Gang session, but you’re so far away!”
“This sounds exactly like what I need to feel confident about my roller skating, I just can’t get there.”
“I found your sessions online, then realised I live about 100 miles away :0 “
We get lots of messages from folks who tell us they would love to attend our sessions, but we are sadly too far away.
We have also seen lots of communities spring up over the last couple of years who share the same values as we do. We know how hard it is to provide consistent roller skating! We are genuinely impressed at everything you are doing and really want you to keep going and growing. As you can see from above, one of the barriers is distance – so let’s come to you!
In 2024, we want to celebrate the micro communities within the roller skate community. We know that accessing quality coaching can be really tricky (we were you 8 years ago) and would love to help you grow.
Mel has cleared some time on Saturday afternoons, specifically to teach workshops outside Leeds.
What shall we teach?
We suggest workshops are 1.5 hours – but we will work with the time you have available. The content of the workshop will be up to you – we will have a chat in advance of your date to make sure we are supporting you as best as possible.
Head coach Mel is an experienced roller skater, teacher and coach. With the support of other members of the RGG coaching team, we can deliver a workshop tailored to the needs of your community.
We specialise in: Adult learning – from the absolute beginning to advanced levels.
Specific skills: stopping, transitions, skating backwards, roller dance, slalom, speed skating and crossovers and a whole lot more!
BTW, we would also love to grab a snack after the workshop with you all!
Sound good?
How much will it cost?
One 1.5 hour workshop £300 (£15 each split based on 20 people, but cheaper if there are more people)
Two 1.5 workshops £550 (£13.75 each split based on 20 people in each session)
We will need to add a cost for travelling to you too – this will depend where you are based.
The above are example costs – we will book a quick call with you 15 – 20 minutes – so we can agree on some costs.
Best value is booking two sessions back to back – we suggest two different workshops will support skaters at different experience levels within your community.
