Alex, the organiser behind Skate121, wants to share some exciting news with everyone in the sports community. Skate121, based at Chesterfield Football Club, offers a variety of roller skating sessions right here in Chesterfield. It's perfect for all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned skater, Alex is dedicated to helping you enjoy skating in and around Chesterfield and the surrounding areas.
Joining a session is straightforward – just book through the website. If you've got any questions that aren't covered online, there's a handy contact link to get in touch with Alex directly. You can even book events like parties or community gatherings via email. Just a heads up, it's best to book early as spaces can fill up quickly.
For the little ones, Alex has introduced the “Tiny Rollers” sessions. This is a fantastic toddler group that uses skating to help kids stay active and tackle new challenges. Designed to align with the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, the sessions are guided by a qualified Reception teacher. But it's not all structured – if parents and kids want to just chat and play, that's perfectly fine too. Safety is a priority, and progress is tracked with weekly awards and certificates. These sessions are currently on hold while Alex searches for a new venue, so stay tuned for updates.
The Kicks Skating session is a big hit, held every Tuesday night at Chesterfield Football Club. Thanks to the League Kicks programme, it's free for 8-18 year olds. There are two sessions – from 6:15pm to 7:15pm and from 7:15pm to 8:15pm – and they're open to all ages. Booking is simple through the club's system.
For those in the Matlock area, there's the Matlock Roller Disco every Friday evening from 6:00pm to 7:45pm. Skaters can bring their own gear or rent from the club. Even spectators can join in if they book in advance.
Excitingly, Alex is expanding Skate121’s reach to Bakewell, Curbar, Stoney Middleton, and other nearby areas. This means even more people can join in the fun and become part of this growing community.
Overall, Skate121, led by Alex, offers a welcoming and inclusive space for roller skating enthusiasts. Whether you're looking to hone your skills, stay active, or simply have a good time with friends and family, Skate121 is the place to be in Chesterfield and beyond.
