Spectrum Roller Skating Club’s skaters enjoyed a recent success with grade tests at Outwood Academy, Middlesborough on Monday February 6th.

Five skaters passed tests and had to skate in front of judges to a national standard.

Nicola Stevens (18) passed grade 8, Joseph Kearney (15) passed grade 8, Harrison Austin (9) passed grades 7 and 8, Charlotte Wilson (11) passed grades 6 and 7 and Lucy Richardson (10) also passed grades 6 and 7.

The grades are accredited by FARS, the Federation of Roller Skating.

The Spectrum Club is affiliated to FARS and anyone wanting to learn to roller skate can go along to Shildon Sunnydale Leisure Centre on Sundays from 2.30-3.30pm.

Sessions cost £4 and the club follows the basic skills award grades scheme.

Club coach, Tracy Stevens said: “These grades are an excellent route for anyone wanting to participate in skating as a fun hobby or to further progress into roller derby, roller hockey or artistic roller skating.”
