Introductory Clinic

We will meet at Freedom Plaza and begin with going over a few drills (varies week to week). The skills we drill we be for the first 30 minutes.

For the second half, we will casually skate down the bike lanes on Pennsylvania Avenue from Freedom Plaza to the U.S.Capitol and stop at 3rd St. and then skate back the same route.

This route is about 2 miles in total and is perfect for those who are new to skating in the city but feel comfortable on skates in a parking lot or roller rink. This is also great if you wish to start with shorter routes to increase your physical fitness or stamina for some of the other routes. This is an excellent opportunity to prepare to skate with others on the road. You will also get to meet skaters who will arrive for the Intermediate and Advanced skate routes following the introductory skate.

This is great training to feel prepared for the Tuesday Night and Friday Night Skate!
