We know that in addition to the symbolic end of summer, Labor Day weekend is often the last hurrah for many as they prepare for the stretch from the start of the school year to winter break. It is also representative of time to kick back, relax, and enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. This year, we wanted to help you kick start your three day weekend by offering free skate rental for children and adults at Roller Kingdom in Hudson and Tyngsboro.

Come on out to our 1pm-4pm sessions on Saturday, August 30th and on Sunday, August 31st. Skate rental is free for all adults and children. Whether you are young, young at heart, or an honored citizen, it does not matter to us! We’ll gladly pass you a pair of skates for free and allow you to celebrate your long weekend on our skating floor.

Don’t forget to challenge the kiddos to a game of laser tag or skee ball, and while you’re at it you can showcase those pipes of yours with karaoke! Whatever you choose to do, we are looking forward to having you roll on in to Roller Kingdom for our free skate rental this Labor Day weekend.

Roller skating has been around for quite some time. Another thing that has been around for quite some time is the key to maintaining a healthy weight relates directly to diet and exercise. The American Heart Association states that, “Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to see the health benefits of physical activity such as lower blood pressure, improved bone health, weight maintenance after weight loss, better sleep, and more energy.”

We don’t know about you, but all of those benefits sound pretty amazing! For this reason, we offer multiple skating sessions throughout the week at both of our Roller Kingdom locations. Whether you are in Tyngsboro or Hudson, we are here for you! 

What will we be doing during your skating sessions with us? Well, we hope that you will be getting your sweat on! The awesome thing about roller skating is that you will be having so much fun moving, and skating out on our floor that you won’t even notice that you are exercising! If you are wanting to dive a little deeper in tracking calories burned while skating, use this helpful calorie calculator for skating from Spark People.

Contact us for additional details if you are interested in finding out more about how skating can help you maintain your health.

School will be back in session before we know it! The start of the school year often brings the realization that clubs, groups, and organizations need a little more funding in order to meet their goals. Now is the time to get ahead of schedule and plan a fundraiser for your group at Roller Kingdom in Tyngsboro or Roller Kingdom in Hudson.

In the past we shared how important it is to plan ahead for fundraising.  This is still true, and we want to encourage you to plan in advance as much as possible with Roller Kingdom. This will allow you to insure that your group is on the calendar and booked for your fundraiser.

As you consider the logistics of your fundraiser, think about what your participatns will do as they join you with a common goal. Will they skate? Will they eat? Will they play laser tag? If the answer is yes to any of these ponderings, then getting a date on the calendar sooner than later will be extremely helpful.

Skating

Roller Kingdom is known first and foremost for roller skating, after all, we are a skating rink! Roller skating is a fun and healthy way for your group to raise funds. We offer 10% of gross receipts back to your school or organization with a minimum of 60 skaters. Contact us for additional details.

Snacking

Our snack bars offer fun food that is delicious and perfect for a treat when taking a skating break. From fried dough to pizza, nachos to popcorn, and slushies to soda, we’ve got you covered! Contact us for more details about snack bar options during your fundraising event.

Sneaking

Yeah, that’s right! If your group opts to include laser tag inside your fundraising activities, there is sure to be some sneaking. This sneaking will take place as participants hide behind obstacles in an effor to avoid the laser beams fro their opponents. You can choose a 3D laser tag game at our Tyngsboro rink or a regular game at our Hudson rink. Whatever you choose, laser tag is fun for all!

Contact Roller Kingdom today to plan ahead for your group’s fundraising needs. We will gladly discuss the details with you to help make sure that you event is as successful as possible.

Summer is quickly coming to an end. School will be back in session on August 26th for Tyngsborough Public Schools and September 2nd for the Hudson Public Schools. If you haven’t crossed skating or laser tag off your summer bucket list yet, now is the time to do it! At Roller Kingdom, we’re ready to help you end your summer right!

Lincoln, Nebraska may seem a world away from Hudson, Massachusetts, but right now there is a commonality between the two cities. Lincoln, is currently hosting the 2014 Roller Figure Skating National Championships. This national artistic skating competition was highly anticipated as artistic skaters from Roller Kingdom hosted the Memorial Day Invitational for the Northeast Region of USA Roller Sports. The commonality is not only in the fact that Hudson Roller Kingdom and Lincoln have played roles as host of these events, but in the fact that some of our very own Roller Kingdom skaters have skated in both artistic skating events. In fact, part of our team is at nationals right now as the event is scheduled from July 20-August 2.

What is Artistic Skate?

Take a look at the Roller Kingdom Hudson Skating Club site and you’ll find that artistic skating is full of, “The elegance of a dancer, the control of a gymnast, the charisma of an actor…” Our skaters could not agree more as they work their hearts out to capture that elegance, control, and charisma that can only be combined on wheels in artistic skating.

Keep up with Nationals Online

Keep up with all things USA Rollersports by visiting their website. You can see the schedule for events, and even sign up to watch the streaming video.

What about Artistic Skate at Roller Kingdom?

Find out more from our open adult artistic skate session on Thursdays at Tynsboro from 10am-noon. This is a great way to get out, get active, and meet other artistic skaters. If you have further questions regarding artistic skate opportunities for children or adults, please contact us for more information.

Don’t forget that Roller Kingdom loves keeping artistic skating, speed skating, and jam skating alive and well. We are also huge fans of recreational roller skating. Make sure you make plans to come on out and join us.

We’ve seen the quote, “Only boring people get bored.” We don’t know if this is true or not, but thought that since July is National Anti-Boredom Month (who knew?) we’d share with you that you can beat summer boredom at Roller Kingdom!

Skate Away Boredom

Skating is an instant way to overcome boredom! We don’t know why, but we’ve never seen anyone bored with roller skates on. Whether you put on quads or inlines, it just makes for fun way to get your feet, your legs, and your whole body moving. Who can resist?

Tag Away Boredom

In our laser tag arenas you can shoot away the boredom! You’ll constantly be on your guard as you hide from your opponent in our arena. Obstacles and barriers add to the challenge, and it is impossible to know ahead of time who will come out as the winner. Take your summer boredom down with an adrenaline filled game of laser tag at Roller Kingdom.

Game Away Boredom

We know that many of you have a favorite video game that you are addicted to! Whatever it is, one of the best ways to get out of a slump is to change it up! Spend some time in our arcade area and try your hand at one of our racing games, at skee-ball, or even with one of the crane games. Changing things up and challenging yourself is a great way to overcome boredom!

We don’t know how you could possibly be bored in Tyngsboro or Hudson this summer. We do know that the summer won’t last forever, and your boredom won’t last forever either when you celebrate National Anti-Boredom Month at Roller Kingdom. Plan your visit with us today and get rid of any boredom that you have! We can’t wait to see you!

What are your top reasons to skate? From 10 to 1 we’ve got a few of our favorite reasons (or excuses) to lace up our skates! Here they are:

10. Date Night

We’ve shared about date night before! Roller skating makes a great date night and leaves a lasting impression. Just check out this sweet couple that met over 60 years ago while roller skating. What are you waiting for? Ask him or her to join you at the rink this week!

9. Celebration

There is always something to celebrate. You can celebrate graduation, losing a tooth, learning to ride a bike, or any other milestone that you deem necessary to celebrate! At Roller Kingdom we’ve got the lights and the music to help get you celebrate!

8. Cabin Fever

In Massachusetts we suffer from winters that are so cold we can’t get out, and then in the summer it gets so hot that it’s miserable to go out! At Roller Kingdom you can beat the heat in the summer, and say “Whatevs!” to the snow in the winter! We’re here to help give you a break away from home in Tyngsboro and Hudson!

7. Exercise

Did you know that about 18 laps around the rink = a mile? We say skating is easier and more fun than running (no offense to you runners out there!) so come on out and skate. Use this handy dandy calculator to figure out how many calories you burn skating!

6. Learn a New Skill

Let’s be real, skating takes skill. That’s why we offer lessons and coaching for general skating, artistic skate, speed skate, and demos for jam skating. Whatever your interest is, and no matter what new skills you want to learn on those wheels, we’ve got it going on at Roller Kingdom!

5. Competition

Some people are just born competitive. If you’re one of them, then you need to know that we’ve got competitive skate opportunities at Roller Kingdom. Check out the Artistic Skate Competition we held in 2014.

4. Social Life

Need a place to hang out with your friends, or just interested in getting out and meeting new people? Roller Kingdom is a great place to do both! Build your social life with fun activites at Roller Kingdom.

3. It’s Fun!

Roller Kingdom is full of fun! We’ve got skating of course, but we also offer laser tag and an arcade where you can win tickets for prizes. What’s not to love with all of these opportunties for fun?!

2. Party

If you’re looking to put a little spin (pun intended) on your party style, book your next birthday party at Roller Kingdom! We can easily customize your birthday party to meet your needs, or you can book the rink for a private party!

1. Challenge

Looking for a challenge? The Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance, and Shoot the Duck never get old! Join us for skating games and see if you can be the next champion!

These are just a few of our fun excuses for why we love to skate at Roller Kingdom! What are your favorite excuses or reasons for skating? Make sure you share with us here or on Facebook and Twitter!

On average, July is the hottest month of the year in Tyngsboro, MA. It is nice to be able to get out of the heat and cool down in some of the arctic air from the ice cold air conditioning at Roller Kingdom. We not only like to allow Massachusetts and New Hampshire residents a chance to cool off, but we like to offer several cool opportunities for a variety of skating.

Artistic Skate

Adult artistic skate is on Thursdays from 10 am to noon at the Tyngsboro Roller Kingdom. $6 admission includes skates. This style of skating is alive and well and the Hudson Roller Kingdom recently hosted an artistic roller skating competition. Contact us to find out more about how you can get involved in artistic skating.

Jam Skating

Jam skating is a style of skating all its own. It started in the 90’s and has been going strong ever since. With a unique following, many refer to jam skating as break dancing on wheels. The Hudson Roller Kingdom recently hosted a jam skating demo night, and there are sure to be more events in the future. Make sure you check our Facebook and Twitter for updates on events.

Speed Skating

The Speed Team meets from 6-8pm on Wednesdays at Hudson Roller Kingdom. Participation is $10. If you enjoyed watching Olympic speed skating, then you will most likely enjoy watching or taking part in our Speed Team. We know that the Olympic speed skating takes place on ice, but we’re hoping to keep Roller Kingdom cool enough to feel like ice. Plus, we should mention that there are a few Olympic speed skaters that got their start on wheels. Maybe the future Olympian at Speed Team practice could be you!

These three skating styles will be going on throughout the summer. Of course, you don’t have to join us just for artistic, jam, or speed skating. You are welcome to join us for any of our public skating sessions, or even book a party or private event if you’d like. We hope you’ve been having a great summer so far, and we look forward to having you cool down with us before the countdown to school starts back up.
