BiznessTime started roller derby in 2007 and has been coaching and playing ever since! She now loves recreational rollerskating, learning rollerdance moves, and flailing around in skate parks. Before founding Rolla Skate Club, Bizzy (formerly known as "Booty") built a global training community called Roller Derby Athletics, to help derby players around the world kick more ass.

Coach Luludemon started rollerblading as a kid on the streets of her hometown London. She helped found Terminal City Rollergirls in 2006, and launched Pivotstar - alternative athletic apparel serving the roller derby community soon after!

Lulu loves everything about coaching skaters of all abilities, and making classes fun and enriching!
This weekend will be FULL of actionable information, and when you leave, you'll have learned a TONNE.
But it's so much more than just the nitty gritty of how to instruct skills for beginner to intermediate skaters.
We go deeper than that. Together we will:
- Lean into how to lead with your values, and create inclusive learning environments.
- Understand different learning styles with adult participants
- Identify your unique instructor genius, and bring it out so you can shine for your students!
- Share our business expertise so that you can be successful on Day 1 as a rollerskating instructor and start earning what you're worth for your classes.

You have...
An interest in leading and teaching others. No prior coaching experience is needed, just the desire to share your personality and your love of rollerskating.

The 2-day Rolla Certified Instructor course was thorough, well-executed, and hugely informative. In addition, Booty and Lulu provided a master-class on how to live your values. There was a friendly atmosphere that encouraged questions, discussion, and conversation; an individual email at the end of Day 1 addressing concerns and questions; mistakes gracefully owned and addressed; and continued contact after the course, Rolla Skate Club is clearly invested in the people they are teaching, welcoming and engaging, open to other's perspectives, and they layer the entire experience through with some "fucking FUN"!

Lulu and Booty have created such an amazing community in Rolla Skate Club. They put together a great curriculum to help skaters anywhere teach the basics based of their years of experience in roller skating. They have created a positive learning environment and each day was so fun! I highly recommend this training whether you are a trainer or skater in whatever type of roller skating you do.

I consider myself an intermediate skater, I have played Roller Derby and Now I skate for the love of it. I always have other skaters asked me to teach them how to skate but my confidence on teaching was not very strong.
Taking this Certified Instructor Training course had teach me so much and give me that confidence that I needed to teach and coach , I didn't even need to have any previous coaching experience which made it easy for me to go for it!
Coaches Lulu and Booty have such an extensive experience on teaching (and skating) that made it so easy and much less overwhelming for me, completely taking me out of my confort zone.
The course had easy to follow hand outs (pdf and printables) Videos of the Rolla skate classes they offer, examples of what, who and how to teach different individuals at all the different levels!
The most important part of it its made by woman for woman to empower and to create strong leaders with long term life skills.
I was a little scared to take this course but I learn a lot not only in the course but also about myself and this is something worth doing weather its is for a business pursue or for only teaching your best pals. It's definitely a win win situation! So go for it!
Even though the course was an entire weekend, I always felt engaged and interested. Booty and Lulu are very encouraging, and I was excited to learn their tr...

I've only been rollerskating for X months - Should I take this course?
Everyone learns and progresses differently, with different backgrounds in sport (or not!). We can't say how long you should be skating before you'll feel ready to teach others.
If you feel confident skating indoors and outdoors, forward and back, transitioning, and stopping, you'll have what it takes.
Have you played roller derby? You'll be great! Do you have a figure skating past? You'll nail it.
Can I teach Rolla Skate Club classes after I graduate?
You will have all the ingredients you need to use the Rolla ™ Method to teach classes and lessons wherever you go after this course, as long as you maintain your License!
The trademarked Rolla ™ Skate Club brand will soon be available to be licensed through our Partner program, currently being developed!
My question isn't answered here!
