Skate Australia is pleased to announce that the new national Learn to Skate program known as “SKATE STARS” has now been officially launched and implemented in rinks and venues across Australia.

This exciting Skate Australia program has been specifically designed to provide a smooth and safe progression through the skills that are required to become a competent and successful roller skater. The program accounts for both quad and inline skates and has been designed based on a wide variety of coaching methods and proven program curriculums from around Australia.  The program features a five “Star level” curriculum created by some of Australia best and most experienced skating coaches across all sporting disciplines. SKATE STARS is currently being implemented in over 15 venues around Australia and is growing every day!

Within each STAR LEVEL is a range of skills that the skater must learn in order to achieve the Star and move on to the next level. Following the completion of all five levels the skater will be able to smoothly transition into any of the chosen skate sports and on their way to becoming a star!

The program is now available to rinks and affiliated clubs and is accompanied by a full package of resources and material to make the program run as professionally and easy as possible. This package includes:

•    A full set of 52 Activity Cards with photo illustrations and tips on how to teach each of the skating skills.
