Playing a team sport is great for kids in so many ways. It builds character, teaches young children about the value of sportsmanship, and teaches kids to work together effectively while helping others to achieve their goals. So what can coaches and parents do to encourage the kids on the team? Throw a team party! Whether it’s a day of play to help the kids learn to work as a team before the season begins, a celebration of a big win in the middle of the season, or a celebratory team party to hand out trophies and reward the kids for a great season, a sports team party will connect the kids and help them feel appreciated. But it can be a challenge to find a great venue that will hold everyone, give you room to play, and allow everyone to have a great time. Stop stressing about winding up with 20+ kids at your house . . . bring your team to Skate Moore skating center!

When you book a team party package, you don’t have to worry about supervision, cleanup, or providing food and fun. Skate Moore will take care of everything you need! Our sports team package includes admission for 10 skaters, skate rentals, a drink for each skater, 2 extra large, single topping pizzas, a party table reserved for 2 hours, and all the skating your kids can handle!

We know how important it is for a sports team to bond, both before and after the season. We can provide you with space to play and everything you need to ensure smooth sailing during your team party! If you want a place to come together and have a great time, Skate Moore is the right place for you! Book your party today and get ready to play.

Roller-skating is a great way for both kids and adults to stay active, learn new skills, and have fun. Whether you’re looking for an epic birthday party or an evening of family fun, look no further than Skate Moore. Why do we love roller-skating? Let us count the ways.

4 Benefits of Roller-Skating

1. It’s fun. Roller-skating is a great way for families to spend quality time together. Zip around the rink, play skating games, enjoy your favorite music, and stop by the Snack Bar for a slice of house-made, hot pizza. Ready to take a break from your busy schedule and have fun with the family? Get rolling!
2. It’s great fitness. Who says fitness can’t be fun? Roller-skating is a great way to improve heart health, strengthen muscles, and burn calories. It works muscles in the legs, glutes, and core, burns about 600 calories an hour, and causes 50% less stress to the joints than running. It even improves flexibility and endurance. And it’s a lot more fun than a gym membership!
3. It teaches new skills. Whether you’re just learning balance, you’re trying a new trick, or you’re incorporating skating stretches for a more effective skating workout, roller-skating helps you master new skills and push yourself to new speeds.
4. It’s good stress-relief. Studies show that regular physical activity relieves stress, refocuses your mind, helps kids learn more effectively, and can even improve your mood. As if we needed another reason to go roller-skating!

With so much competing for their attention, it’s a challenge for kids to stay active. Winter weather only makes it harder to keep kids moving. But regular physical fitness has countless benefits for kids, from physical health to mental and emotional health. Regular activity as a kid even decreases the risks of developing diabetes and heart disease as an adult. That’s why Skate Moore has made it our mission to educate kids in Oklahoma about the benefits of regular activity—and to help them achieve it!

Prepare for a skating workout with these stretches.

3 Great Skate Stretches

Warming up your muscles before you skate will help you get a better workout and minimize your risk of injuries. Ready to roll?

• Quad stretch. Quadriceps are the muscles that run along the front of your thigh. These are a big reason you can propel yourself forward while you skate! To stretch your quads, stand with one foot flat on the ground, and hold your other foot by the ankle. Pull up until you feel your quad muscle stretching. If you need to hold onto the wall for balance, that’s fine. Just make sure you don’t overextend your muscle. If it hurts, it’s time to stop!
• Calf and hamstring stretch. Now it’s time to stretch the back of your leg. Simply anchor your heel a few feet in front of you, then lean over and grab your toe. Slowly flex your ankle so your toe moves toward your body. If you’re not feeling the stretch, scoot your foot out until you do.
• Hip stretch. Skating is low impact workout that’s great because it doesn’t strain your joints. But if you have tight hips, the Seated Pigeon stretch makes a big difference. Sit on the floor and bend your knees, feet flat. Put your hands behind you for balance and place the ankle of one foot over the opposite knee. Press your hips toward your heel until you feel the stretch. When you feel good and loose, it’s time to switch legs!

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Skates

Owning roller-skates means the perfect fit, customizable gear, and fun whenever you want. And if you take care of your skates, they can last for years. But there’s nothing worse than suffering through a pair of worn out skates. Check for these signs your skates need replacing.

1. They don’t fit. Kids outgrow their roller-skates fast. If your child complains of pinched toes every time he or she hits the skating floor, it’s probably time to pass down those skates and invest in a new pair.
2. The lining has broken down. The more you wear your skates, the better they’ll conform to your foot. But some people are such avid skaters that they break down the boot lining. If your heel aches from a threadbare foot cushion, it may be time for a new pair of skates.
3. The boot is old. Skate boots are well-made and can last your child years. But just like any shoe, they reach a point where they’re no longer supportive or comfortable. If the boot is warped, cracked, or no longer fits your foot, it’s time to replace those skates.
4. You’ve moved on. We carry specialty skates for better speed, more maneuverability, and specific skating sports like roller-derby. If you’re serious about derby skating, artistic skating, or speed skating, buy a pair of skates designed to help you achieve skating greatness.

Skate Moore offers 20% off our entire skate stock for the month of December! It’s the perfect time to upgrade your skates. To shop for new roller-skates, visit our Moore, OK skating center during our holiday hours.
