Skate Fit is a weekly learn to skate program that has been designed by Gippsland Ranges, with a focus on fun and fitness in a low pressure, social environment. It runs weekly throughout the school terms across two locations of Churchill and Meeniyan. All genders, backgrounds, experience and ages (16+) are welcome. Our trainers aim to create a welcoming and supportive environment where all levels of skaters can challenge themselves, stay fit, make friends and have fun!

Skate Fit can also be a gateway for those wanting to play Roller Derby, become a Referee or even a Skate Trainer – each person’s skating journey is unique, and we aim to create opportunities for everyone.

PRICING

and $64.90 Insurance payable to Skate Australia, all paid in one convenient payment once you register on revsport.

All skaters must wear a mouth guard, elbow pads, wrist guards and knee pads (plus skates, of course!).

Skate & PPE Hire is FREE for your first term, you can supply your own mouth guard, or we can provide a skate specific one for an additional $50.

If you require Skate & PPE Hire after your first term, it is charged at $50 per term.

NEW FOR TERM 1 2026

We are trialing a fusion of our Skate Fit and Derby Lite programs at Meeniyan in Term 1 and we encourage you to put yourself outside your comfort zone and give it a try! 

What will this look like? The first hour will be the Skate Fit program in a condensed format, the second hour will weave the skills you learn during Skate Fit into roller derby relevant drills and knowledge (you'll be surprised how much you already know!)

What if I'm not sure about Derby Lite? That's totally OK! You can either give it a go and we can adjust your program booking down the track and apply a credit to your Term 2 fees; or you can register just for Skate Fit at a reduced rate and hang around to watch and see what you think before you decide - up to you! We hope to see many folk giving it a go; and invite your feedback during the program.
