Roller Skating for Amazing Summer Fun

Parents that enjoyed roller skating at their local indoor skating rink often don’t realize that their kids too might also love this fun activity. These days, kids of all ages can participate in skating by taking advantage of the various skate sessions geared for their particular age group. Young toddlers holding their parent’s hand and teens wanting their own skating space can all find a time to practice their desired skating techniques.

 

Benefits of Skating for Kids of Every Age

 

Many parents are concerned about how much time their children spend parked in front of the television or glued to their electronic devices. More parents are looking for healthier pursuits for their kids to enjoy. Kids that know how to roller skate can stay active all year long no matter what the weather is outside. Parents looking for innovative ways to encourage their children to take a break from their sedentary electronic devices and do something active can take their kids skating instead.

 

Reasons Why Skating is Still a Favorite Indoor Activity

 

Skating is again becoming a popular activity both for kids and older adults. All ages can learn how to skate with rollerblades or skates in an indoor rink that is kept air conditioned for super summertime fun and warmer during the brutal cold winter months. Roller Kingdom remains a favorite destination for teens to hang out after school and on weekends. Parents too can have summer fun either skating with their families or meeting up with friends.

 

Why a Skating Party is Becoming a Top Kid’s Birthday Party Location

 

Busy parents often become overwhelmed when their kids birthdays approach. Instead of spending a ridiculous amount of time and money finding the perfect birthday party venue and decorations, parents can simply book their upcoming child’s birthday party conveniently at Roller Kingdom. Simply reserve a time slot, opt in or out for yummy party food choices, add any desired extra party selections like laser tag, group skating lessons, various skate games and even special music requests. The convenience, low price, large or small group options and the no-need-to-cleanup after party realization has many parents planning their children’s birthday celebrations at the air conditioned skating rink.

Here’s A REAL SHOCKER About Roller Skating. Kids Love It And It’s Amazing For Summer Fun!

Lots of parents remember loving to skate when they were young. Today, this indoor pursuit is still drawing many excited children throughout the year. While skating in air conditioned comfort makes this activity an amazing summertime fun adventure, parents realize that roller skating is something that their kids can enjoy doing during the school months as well. Finding something that both parents and kids agree on is rare. Parents can even sign their kids up for enlightening skating lessons available right at their local skating rink.

 

An Easy Way to Motivate Your Kids to Move

 

Lots of parents despair that their kids are not getting enough active exercise in this age of electronic and high tech devices. It is not unusual for kids to plop in front of the television screens to passively watch various programs. Getting your children to unplug from their devices often is met with grumbling and unhappy faces. An easy way to motivate your kids to get up and move is to simply take them to roller skate.

 

At What Age Can I Take My Child Skating?

 

Kids of all ages take to skating every year. Typically, younger children in elementary school are terrific candidates to learn how to skate. Even preschool aged children can learn some skating basics if they are carefully supervised and helped by an older teen or parent. It is never too late to learn how to roller skate. Older teens and even grandparents are discovering the joys of skating to their favorite style of music. Parents can find out if their local skating rink offers skating lessons. This is one activity that the whole family can enjoy.

 

What Style of Skate Is Best for Kids?

 

Skates come in a wide variety of designs and sizes. Before purchasing a pair of skates, talk with someone with experience in picking the right skates. Many parents opt to rent skates offered at the skating rink rather than buying an expensive pair. It is important to have the child’s foot accurately measured for a better fit. Most younger children do well with traditional roller skate designs. Older kids and teens often prefer to use inline skate styles.

Beginners Guide to roller skating wheels

Wheel hardness is one of the most important attributes of a roller skate wheel. The hardness or softness of a wheel determines how you should best use that wheel and what surfaces you should skate on with that wheel.

Wheel hardness is determined by an A scale rating.  The lower the number, the softer the wheel. The higher the number, the harder the wheel.

  • Indoor wheels are firmer (higher numbers) and roll more easily than outdoor wheels.  Indoor wheels glide quickly over smooth, hard ground, but they are liable to slipping and sliding over rough or irregular terrain.
  • Outdoor wheels are softer (lower numbers) and roll well in unfriendly environments like surfaces with small pebbles and bumpy outdoor surfaces. When skating outdoors you should try to use a wheel with a hardness of 88A or less.

And don’t forget that if you need help picking your next pair of wheels, we’ll be more than happy to help you at Roller Kingdom!

Safe Skating Tips For National Safety Month!

Whether it be quad or inline skates, indoor or outdoor, safety is ALWAYS important when it comes to roller-skating. Sometimes kids look for an excuse not to wear safety gear, whether it be it’s uncomfortable or just “not cool.” June is National Safety Month, and we’re here to give you the best tips and tricks for safe skating!

Always Wear a Proper Helmet

Accidents can and do happen. When roller-skating, your head needs protection in case of a fall. That means wearing the correct helmet, because not all helmets offer the same amount of protection. Investing in a quality helmet that fits your children correctly while also offering adequate protection and impact absorption is suggested.

Fitness Helmet — Does not always adequately protect from high impact collisions. It also no longer protects after a single collision.

Multi-Sport Helmet — Offers better all around impact protection and is effective for more than one collision.

Skate Helmets — Offers adequate protection during skating but may not protect during other activities like biking or boarding.

You may be able to counter the children’s resistance to wearing their helmet by picking out one in their favorite color, or creating a fun project of customizing their gear with stickers, graphics, etc.

Always Wear Knee Pads and Elbow Pads

No scrapes and bruises here! Sometimes these can get a little bulky, but you’ll have some peace of mind and your child will help their joints by wearing this extra protective gear.

Pick the Right Skates

If skates do not fit properly, it could very well lead to accidents and injuries. They should be comfortable, yet sturdy. They should also offer proper ankle support. To make sure a pair of skates offers enough ankle support, feel the plastic boot around the ankle. If it squeezes, there is not enough support and the material is not strong enough. Find some of the best skates here.

Consider Other Protective Gear

While most adults and children know that a helmet and pads are necessary for safe skating, skaters may want to add extra layers of protection. That means wearing long sleeves and long pants instead of shorts to prevent injury to elbows and knees in case of a fall.
