Q: What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations within 24 hours for non-medical reasons are non-refundable; illness can be rescheduled or refunded.

Sunshine Roller Skating Centre in Sunshine North, Victoria, Australia offers a fast, focused path to better wheels: a 30-minute private lesson with Coach Craig that is designed to accelerate progress for skaters of all ages and backgrounds. Start here if you want one-on-one coaching covering freestyle, dance, figures and the core fundamentals—Coach Craig adapts every drill to match a beginner's first two-foot glide or an advanced skater's choreography. The session includes rink entry and extra training time before and after your thirty-minute lesson, so warmups and cooldowns are not squeezed into the main block. The lesson format is practical: after arriving 15 minutes early to fit your skates, Coach Craig assesses stance, edges, balance and posture, then sequences short drills and repetitions that build muscle memory on the rink's polished surface. Private instruction removes the noise of group classes and lets you repeat pivots, crossovers, spins or figure patterns until they feel automatic. Both quad and inline skates are welcome, and skate hire is available during booking if you do not bring your own. This booking is more than a technique session—it's a focused lab for confidence. Because it is one-on-one, progress is measurable from minute one: tiny adjustments in arm placement or ankle angle show up instantly on the next run. That coaching loop is why private lessons like this are an important thread in Sunshine North's recreation fabric: they support local clubs, feed competitions, and give families a safe place to learn movement skills that transfer to other sports. Practicalities are straightforward. Minimum age is four; the class accepts one student per session. Arrive early, secure Skate Victoria membership before your first lesson, and plan to bring water and optionally your own safety gear. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice for non-medical reasons are non-refundable; illness can be rescheduled or refunded. Who should book? Anyone who wants accelerated improvement in a short time—kids nervous about group classes, adults brushing up basics, and artistic skaters refining choreography. Expect focused, clear cues, tailored progressions, and a supportive atmosphere. For visitors to Melbourne's west, this private class at Sunshine Roller Skating Centre is an efficient, high-value way to sharpen skills and enjoy a local community hub that keeps rolling with purpose. Sessions start from $35 per class, and the compact 30-minute format is ideal for fitting lessons into after-school schedules and lunch breaks. Coach Craig is one of The Skate Studio's senior coaches and brings an emphasis on safe progressions and clear verbal cues. Bring your own skates if you prefer; hire is simple during booking. Photos or video may be taken; if you do not want to be filmed, tell the teacher before class. This focused lesson model yields fast gains.
