About Us

Welcome to Speed Skaterz

Thanks for checking out the online home of Speed Skaterz inc. (we used to be part of the Eltham Roller Skating Club) and wanting to find out more about us!

How did it start?

We were kind of born out of Roller City Eltham (now SKATERZ), which had its beginnings in Eltham in 1981, turning one of Susan Street's warehouses into one of Australia's most well-appointed, comfortable, and family-oriented skating centres.

Who are we?

Our 'membership' was the logical progression of skaters through the number of learn-to-skate programs offered by Roller City Eltham. Today, 26 years later, the range of classes offered at Skaterz is wider and better than ever, and many of those classes are now taught by long-standing members of the Club who share their experience and enthusiasm with a new group of first-time skaters every day.

We really teach you to speed skate

The Club now has a long history that's seen a lot of great skaters come up through our ranks, and go on to great things. Just our current Club line-up includes medallists at State, National and even World Championship level, as well as skaters that have turned professional as part of the World Inline Cup that began in 2002. That's without mentioning countless others who did great things in their sport, and started right here at Eltham. In speed skating, Australia has some of the best athletes in the World, and a number of Australia's World Team are Eltham's very own Speed Skaterz Inc. members!

Above all, we're all about People

We are families & individuals aged from 6 to 65 who get together to socialise & skate with friends, get in shape, stay fit, perfect skills, compete with others, and share a love of a sport (and a state-of-mind!) that extends the human body with wheels and lets you glide, cruise, sail, roll, spin and fly!

So, browse our site... our corner of the web that keeps the club informed, the skating community informed, and hopefully conveys just how great it is to be a part of the Speed Skaterz Inc. Club, and to be skating!

Hope to see you soon!
