Getting Comfortable on Wheels
Learning Outcomes
Build confidence and practice basic gliding techniques with skates.
Description Of Activity
Focus on proper stance: knees slightly bent, core engaged, back straight, shoulders relaxed.
Practice putting on and taking off skates safely with adult assistance.
Hold onto a railing or wall for support and practice gliding with both feet.
Gradually transition to independent gliding, focusing on small, controlled steps.
Important Note:
This curriculum provides a starting point. As students progress, you can introduce additional skills like stopping techniques (T-Stops, heel stops), turning maneuvers, and backward skating. Always prioritize safety and tailor the activities to their comfort level and learning pace.
Variations
Play short “Gliding Races” with friends or siblings (emphasize control, not speed).
Organize a “Skating Scavenger Hunt” where they navigate an obstacle course using cones or markers, practicing gliding around them.
Coaching Tips
Provide close supervision and assistance, especially for beginners.
Encourage them to keep their knees bent and core engaged for better balance.
Break down falls into controlled descents and teach them how to get up safely (bend knees, push up with hands).
Celebrate their achievements and encourage perseverance.
Equipment/Material Required
Well-fitting skates
Helmet
Elbow pads
Knee pads
Wall or railing for support (optional: soft padding for practicing falls)
