Alien In-Line is coming to our school from May 24-June22, 2022. Your child will have the opportunity to have 5 – 1hour skating lessons with an instructor.
This week there will be a form coming home with your child called, the “Acknowledgement of Risk and Consent of Parent or Guardian” please sign this and return to school. This form is required in order for your child to participate in this activity.ALL students are required to have this signed in order to participate in Alien Inline skating.
The instructor will focus on many basic and advanced skating skills. Skills introduced will vary based on student’s abilities and may include; standing on skates/basic position, simple forward motion, several ways to stop, several ways to turn, safe skating strategies, road/pathway etiquette, and non-aerial jumping. Instruction time is followed by games chosen to use the skills in a more active situation. Some sessions may end with a period of free skating time, often accompanied by music.
Safety and Protective Gear - Alien In-Line provides protective gear for each student (knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, helmet). Skates are provided too.
Helmets and Head Lice - Alien In-Line strictly requires ALL students to wear a certified helmet at ALL times while on skates. We provide certified helmets for all students, but are aware of that use of shared helmets can contribute to the spread of head-lice. Due to allergy and environmental concerns, they do NOT treat our helmets with anti-lice pesticides – and suggest that parents concerned about head-lice have children bring their own helmet to school for use during the Alien In-Line program. Bike, skateboard, and hockey helmets are acceptable. Football, BMX, ski/ snowboard, or other types of helmets are NOT acceptable.
