Welcome to Rollerstart.
Website for the Eastern Region Roller Speed Association.
We are based in Stevenage, Hertfordforshire.
We teach beginners to skate during our leisure sessions and coach skaters for speed skating along with our speed skating squad who represent the Herts Roller Speed Team for national and international competitions.
Open to all ages and ability.
Learning to skate? We can get you started with all the basics. Our main social leisure session is open to all beginners, ages and ability.
These sessions are designed to allow beginners to learn to skate in their own time, to gain balance, strength, confidence and skills whilst having fun.
Once you've started to skate with ease you may end up with a speeding ticket.
The speeding ticket enables you to join in with our speed skating session.
Please don't rush to buy skates just yet you can borrow ours free of charge. You will be better placed with knowledge of what to purchase after a week or two.
The session costs £5 per skater on a pay as you go basis, no sign ups or commitments required (cash only venue).

We have a small team of speed skaters that attend local, national and international competitions.
Ranging from 7 - 15 years old, our skaters are always training hard to improve their speed and technique. Some of our skaters are record holders and Champions in sprint and long distance road races. They also incorporate their training into fundraising for charities by taking on skating challenges.
This team is always developing and introducing new speed skaters in different age catorgories, so if you have a competitive child that likes skating then have a chat with us.
We are looking for financial sponsors to help fund new skinsuits and race skates for our team. Please get in touch if your interested in becoming a sponsor, we would be happy to incorporate your logo into our new skinsuit design and acknowledge and promote your business at every opportunity, including our website and social media platforms.
