Roller skating is a sport that can be enjoyed by all and this is what we at Maidstone hope we have achieved.

Of course there is the serious and competitive side to the sport and our Skaters enter, and have been successful at many competitions held around the UK.

Nurturing and honing the talent of our Skaters has been our trainer Rachel Searing, her dedication and skills have made the club a major force in the world of Roller Dancing.

For some of our skaters, their success and talent has resulted in them being selected to represent their country at International level and with dedication, who knows, eventually to be British and even World Champions.
