The kids' parties cater for ages seven to 16, while RollerFit classes welcome younger skaters aged five to 13.

Whether your little skater is a complete beginner or ready to tackle a few tricks, RollerCrew can help them find their feet on wheels.

The team also runs group programs, school activities and roller disco birthday parties, with equipment available for organised sessions. It's a handy option for Northern Beaches families without a roller-skating rink nearby.

5. YouSkate, Inner West

For kids who prefer rollerblades to traditional roller skates, YouSkate is worth checking out.

Based in Sydney's Inner West, this rollerblading school teaches children aged five and over how to find their balance, control their speed and master those all-important stops without crashing into Mum or Dad!

Families can book private lessons, while a Saturday kids' club offers regular practice during school terms. Best of all, inline skates and protective gear are supplied for lessons, so there's no need to splash out on expensive equipment before giving it a go.

With a four-kilometre (mostly) flat loop around Grand Drive, you couldn't find a better place in Sydney to roller skate and blade than Centennial Park.

It's also open to bikes and scooters, so younger roller skaters should be comfortable controlling their speed and sharing the track before tackling the action.
