SKATE GYM – The most fun you can have while working out, is on wheels!
Skate Gym has 2 classes running back to back each fortnight.
One for kids and their family members, and one for ages 14 and over.

Terms & Conditions
https://shinertown.com.au/pages/coaching-terms-conditions?_pos=1&_sid=7abff1d21&_ss=r

WHEELS WARNING: Your wheels matter. At Marrara Stadium, the floor is a sports court that is very smooth and can be slippery. If your skates have plastic, old/dry/brittle, or worn out wheels, they will not get any traction and you are at a significantly increased risk of suddenly slipping and injuring yourself. This combination of wheels and smooth surface can be worse than ice. Darwin Skate School coaches reserve the right to terminate your lesson if you are on plastic wheels. We will work with parents of small children to upgrade wheels as they get rolling.

Skate gym is aimed at all levels, but those who have never skated, or are still wobbly, falling and unable to maneuver, will need more help to participate in skate gym skills. Talk to us so we can help.

ONLINE TICKETS are the best! Please understand the we are a skate class, not a public roller rink. Prebooking takes pressure off the front door so coaches can be in class on time. It also ensures you have a spot. We often sell out and refuse drop ins. We also need to make sure we have the right amount of coaches. Please purchase tickets at your earliest convenience.

Classes start promptly at so please be on time, and allow enough time to get in and get your gear on.

Shiner Town advocates for use of safety gear. Helmets compulsory under 16. Adult beginners should strongly consider safety

FAQ’s
CAN I HIRE SKATES?
At this time, you cannot hire any equipment. We have struggled in the past to offer hire skates and a number of issues such as time, staff, booking systems, skate condition, maintenance and Covid-19 mean we no longer are able to do this. We also are focusing on our core business of advancing the skill levels of skate owners and we must reserve class spots for them first.

CAN ANY LEVEL JOIN IN?
Please note that this is not a LEARN TO SKATE class and we may not have the capacity to physically assist individuals. low level is fine if you can get up and roll. Please let us know if you have never skated, if you are learning to skate, please wear a helmet at all times.

I’VE PAID, BUT I CANT COME NOW, CAN I USE MY TICKET NEXT WEEK OR GET A REFUND?
Not really. We respect that life happens occasionally and drop in is very convenient for those with tight schedules or unpredictable kids. If something unfortunate happens, please discuss it with us, we want to help. We are however aiming to keep our limited class spaces full and streamline the process. We have some sneaky room for shuffling, but please use that consideration respectfully.

Shiner Town advocates for use of safety gear. Helmets compulsory under 16. We reserve the right to instruct anyone to wear extra safety gear who we deem at increased risk of injury.

In the NT, our classes are included in the $70 cost of your Australian Breastfeeding Association membership. To signup, please visit www.breastfeeding.asn.au/membership/individual ‘The presenters were very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Answered questions very well and instilled confidence in me.’ ‘I loved the experience of the speakers, seeing the Mum breastfeed, the videos and the information was very useful.’ ‘Thank you so much. I really appreciated your honesty, kindness and support. The presenters were supportive of my choices and I didn’t feel they imposed on me. I liked the interaction, demonstration and activities.’ Having a Baby? Do you have questions about breastfeeding? Come to our relaxed, information-packed sessions for expectant parents to learn why breastfeeding is important, the World Health Organisation recommendations for exclusivity, what to expect in the early weeks and how to support mothers to manage challenges. Although breastfeeding the normal way to feed infants and young children, it is a learned skill. Most women, given time and support can, and do, breastfeed. Our aim is to provide expectant parents with the necessary skills, knowledge and resources to guide them in their breastfeeding journey. Our courses expand on the information provided at antenatal classes and focus on preparing parents and carers for normal feeding patterns, ways to tell baby is getting enough and the undulating rhythms of those first days, weeks and months after their baby’s birth. For this reason, we encourage parents to attend while pregnant or early after the birth. If you are not a member please join prior to booking at: https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/membership/individual PLACES ARE LIMITED SO EARLY REGISTRATION IS RECOMMENDED Registration and membership includes: Approx 4 hour workshop-style class, including time for refreshments One-year membership of the Australian Breastfeeding Association, which includes the book Breastfeeding … naturally , valued at $35.00 Introduction to your local ABA network of discussions and other services for pregnant and new parents One year subscription to Australian Breastfeeding Association magazine Essence Complimentary learning materials 50% discount on breast pump hire rates

🌈 Back in March, Messy Bubs organised a FREE get together for mums, dads and Bubs at Yanyula park to come together to be kind, make friends and build our village!

💔At the time I explained the story of a mother of 4 children (who had attended Messy Bubs) who had taken her life just before Christmas last year and another young lady who appeared to have everything to live for took her life Valentine’s Day this year.
Both of these suicides absolutely shocked me and made me feel so sad for all, that I wanted to offer something to anyone who may be in need.

#Bekind – Picnic and Play was formed! THEN..
Covid – 19 struck and we had to postpone our get together.

💛So now… it appears with the aftermath of the shock of Covid – 19 and the isolation families must of felt, the losses people had and the anxiety of a threat we’d never dealt with before, I’d say we need to reach out more than ever! Restrictions have been lifted. I wanted to continue the mission of being kind, making friends or even just listening to someone who may need it desperately.

💙We are meeting for a couple of hours in the morning! I will be bring our mini softplay set up for under 3’s. There is a much bigger park there for any older children who you may bring and a sand pit!
Bathrooms are on site.

🙏🏼Many businesses donated wonderful items for a raffle we were organising which will be available again so we can donate the proceeds to Beyond Blue!

🥰Please if you feel lonely, or want to meet other people and get out, come and join us.

If you want any other info please feel free to contact me on our Facebook page!

This is NOT a messy play event!

Natalie 😘
