National Roller Skating Month has been the time of year to visit your inline and roller skating center since President Reagan declared this annual tribute in 1983. Now, the Roller Skating Association encourages everyone to use this month to try a new rink experience or return to roller sports.

Roller skating is a good fitness activity, is family-friendly and is usually done a safe environment. In fact, many rinks are family-owned and work with the Roller Skating Association and USA Roller Sports to provide rink and school programs for adults and kids in the community. Available activities include everything from Basic Skills Lessons and holiday parties to advanced training for competitive sports like inline racing, roller figure skating or inline hockey.

If you haven't skated indoors for a while, this is the month to try it. Your family's winter fitness plan may be just around the corner.
