fREESTYLE SlALOM Certification
The Freestyle Slalom Certification is for inline and quad skaters looking to teach the breadth of Freestyle Slalom, through SkateIA’s proven teaching model. This program is not only recognized by SkateIA, but also the World Slalom Skating Association (WSSA). You should be well versed in slalom skating, and while we recommend that you take the Level 1 Certification first, it is not required.
“Skate IA helps bring the real love of skating to the community. From the people involved to the culture it has created, Skate IA is a gift to us all who are looking to build up our communities and skate programs.”
- Dottie, Level 1 and Level 2 Certified Instructor
