Teach Someone to Roller Skate - Even Yourself! by Marty Donnellan

(New tutorials on TikTok #happyfeetrollerskating) Marty Donnellan has worked as a professional roller skating coach. She has taught scores of people the art of indoor skating, and many others how to improve their skating. Teach Someone to Roller Skate - Including Yourself is a complete curriculum for a four- to six-week beginning indoor roller skating course for all ages. Most of the illustrations picture students on quad skates, but most of the basic positions, postures, and techniques described apply equally to quad skates, inline skates, and ice skates. Differences are noted in the text, such as the location of brakes. This book does NOT cover outdoor skating.Marty has used the course with both individual skaters of all ages, and school PE groups. It makes a great gift for parents whose kids are approaching skating age.By studying Marty's clear text and engaging illustrations, you, too, can now teach someone to roller skate - including yourself or your child - with no professional instructor present.
