School Inline Skating Workshops - with Danny Aldridge - FORMER WORLD Champion
Danny Aldridge is UK & World Champion skater.
He is now available to deliver our school Inline Skating Experience. Danny is a unique character, full of energy and passionate about helping others believe in themselves.
Assembly
Danny shares his story of being a shy boy from a single parent family with low confidence. Aged 10 he became inspired by an extreme sports display in his home town and had a vision to become a pro skater.
Danny talks about how his vision and passion for skating helped him build self belief and a growth mindset early on. He learned to put maximum effort into everything he did, not just his skating.
This effort and enthusiasm led him to become a multiple champion and pro skater traveling the world.
He shares the 'rollercoaster moments'
from his journey chasing the dream. From competition wins to family tragedies, Danny explains how he learned to take the positive and grow from every situation, good or bad.
Danny finishes the assembly with an exciting trick display with flips and jumps over members of staff!

"Danny and Charlie were amazing! The children were buzzing off of it they all loved it. The assembly were fantastic as well and I didn’t expect him to do the trick he performed!
The inline skating day was really good for the year 6’s and you saw how their confidence grew during the session. An hour was about the right amount of time. Any less and it might have been rushed so timings were good. Also having 2 members of staff made a big difference as Danny could push the more able onto tougher challenges while Charlie would support the less able beginners.
Really happy with it and would like to book again for next year’s year 6’s? "

"I would like to say a massive thank you to the guys for an amazing 2 days at Old Palace.
An absolute highlight of the year and I saw the girls grow in confidence and show so much resilience and positive attitudes.
Both Danny and Charlie were kind and caring and very patient with the girls! The assembly was amazing too and very inspirational.
It was super organised and one of the best things we have ever done. Please can we have you back next year for the inline skating and the BMXing
Thank you, Thank you"

"I just wanted to drop a quick line to say a huge, huge thank you to Danny and Charlie for the workshops they did with our Y5/6 children. Every child who took part grew in confidence throughout their time with Danny. He was amazing with them!
The assembly at the end was watched by the entire school with our headteacher eventaking part, which was brilliant.
The children who took part in the assembly were usually very low in confidence and struggle to perform in front of an audience. So it was amazing to see these children shine today.
Please pass on my gratitude to the guys. I will definitely be booking next year!"

"The children absolutely loved the workshops and the activities were well pitched with excellent support.
Every child I spoke to asked why they can't do it every week and many of them are asking for inline skates for Christmas!
The children felt very comfortable to ask questions and were hugely inspired by Danny's assembly.

"I wanted to message as we have just had the most fantastic day with Danny and Charlie! The workshops were great fun, and it was lovely to see the children make so much progress in such a short time.
Danny and Charlie had a lovely, encouraging manner with the children and built positive relationships quickly which enabled the children to feel comfortable and more confident in their ability. The smiles on the children's faces were huge. They had an absolutely amazing time. They also really enjoyed seeing Danny's tricks in the assembly."

Lots of positive feedback given to me throughout the day. Some teachers mentioned that Charlie was particularly good with anxious/ needy pupils and was really kind and supportive.

The children had a brilliant day and we were so proud about the kids who were really nervous about taking part.
