Beginners In-line Skate Clinic

Go to Current Events on home page for next date.

This is a Beginner's Clinic, so if you're hesitant to join, assuming the others will have better skills than you, please know that this clinic is meant precisely for YOU! People who want to learn the very basic skills to skate effectively and safely.

It's FUN, FUN, FUN! There's no better time than the present to learn to skate.

Here are the details:

Who makes a good participant?

Men and women who do not yet know how to skate, but want to learn fundamental skills for skating safely and effectively. Participants will learn and practice many skating skills such as balancing, basic striding, stopping, bobbing, turning, and how to handle staircases and ramps.

Where will we meet?

We will meet at Recreation Park, which is one exit north of the Belmont exit off of Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. Recreation Park offers a variety of terrain for practicing these skills.

How long is the class?

The clinic is 1 hour long.

What if I don't have my own skates?

If you do not have your own skates, you will need to rent them. Londo Mondo has 3 locations and rents skates for $20.00 per day, or $7.00 per hour. If you rent for two days, you get the third day free. We recommend that you pick up your rental skates the day before the Clinic so that you can come straight to the Clinic, ready to go.

You must pre-register by clicking on the Buy Now button $40.00.

Additionally, leave a message on (773) 252-6511 with your name, telephone number and email address so that we can contact you right away with further details.

“I hadn't been on in-line skates in years, but since Tiffany is such a great educator, I was in very good hands. She provides a non-intimidating environment for her students to learn. She accomplishes this through her encouraging words and her skill-building class format. The clinic was incredibly informative, safe, and fun!”
