Spectrum Roller Skating Club proudly hosted their very first competition at both Sunnydale Leisure Centre, Shildon on Fri 21st July and Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd July, reports head coach, Tracy Stevens.
Ten clubs travelled from all over the country to attend the event with competitors taking part in a range of disciplines including figures, free, dance, freedance, couples, duo, quartet, adult and child and club show event.
Spectrum Roller Skating Club, who train at Sunnydale Leisure Centre in Shildon, had 27 athletes taking part in the skating competition. All skaters were amazing and the club got medals for their themed club show!
Thank you to our coaches Nicola, Jo and Hannah. Thank you also to our team of super volunteers who have planned and organised the event. And thanks to the officials who travelled lots of miles to judge the event and to everyone who supported the event, donated prizes or sponsored trophies.
This was a personal dream come true after being involved with the sport from the age of four. It has been a momentous occasion to go from setting up a few beginner lessons in 2014 to hosting our own competition. It’s something I’m very proud of but couldn’t do alone.
Thank you to Nicola and Liam, the whole Spectrum team and the extended skating family for all of your support, dedication and belief. Roll on next year!
