One of our long term volunteers, Jade, will be holding her own private lessons under Skate Norfolk, catering towards total beginners to those who feel more confident on their skates and are looking for new skills to learn.
About the coach
Jade has been volunteering with Skate Norfolk since 2016, teaching the grades and showing new skaters how to get started, which has given her experience in teaching a wide range of abilities and age groups. Through Skate Norfolk, she was put in contact with Stalham Artistic Roller Skating club, where she has been able to advance her skills – being coached by 10x British champion Emily Woods, and her coach Martin Pickering. This further ignited her passion for rollerskating and she has since competed, and won medals, in competitions across the UK in artistic roller dance.
Private lessons will be held under the name of Skate Norfolk and so the Skate Norfolk waiver will need to be signed prior to any lessons for insurance purposes. Jade holds a valid DBS, child protection and sports first aid certificate.
”Being autistic myself, I understand that crowded sessions with loud music and lots of chatter isn’t for everyone. Throughout my years of volunteering with Skate Norfolk, I have both spoken with, and taught, many skaters/parents who have shared experiences of feeling overwhelmed or anxious at busy sessions, I am therefore particularly keen in providing the opportunity to learn rollerskating to those who find that a regular session may not be suitable for them.
I feel that my personal experience with neurodiversity has given me a great understanding of how to adapt my methods of teaching for each individual, ensuring that you can get the most out of each session whilst building confidence. Rollerskating is a huge part of my life, and I would love to share my passion with others.”
