Rollerblading in PE

We have started our rollerblading unit in all PE classes! Safety equipment is available for any student that would like to use it. We have helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards.

Each class will begin the unit with learning the basics of safety, starting, stopping and backwards skating. As the unit progresses, students will work on changing levels, cross-over steps, skating on one foot for a short distance and finally end with a skills course.

We will be having a brake test at the end of the unit where students will be expected to stop on cue using their brake. T-stops and turn stops will not be acceptable.

Have a great weekend!
