My Story
We’re Esther Roller Skating Club, started by me, Esther. Skating’s been my thing since I was a tiny kid, thanks to my mom. From parks to podiums, I’ve slid, skated, and glided my way to over 100 golds. ERSC began in 2005 with just 40 kids and now, we’re 10,000 strong. We’re a proper family here – skaters, parents, coaches, all cheering each other on. For me, skating is a lifetime joy, not just a sport.
My Work
Coaching for all styles - We teach Speed skating, Alpine skating classes, Downhill, Ice skating, and Inline hockey training for every level.
Building champions - Discipline, focus, and grit – that’s our way. Our skaters win medals at all levels, including national competitions.
Family vibes - ERSC is more than a club. We celebrate wins together, and our ‘mommies of ERSC’ group keeps the spirit alive.
Skating for special needs children - We mentor kids with special needs, helping them build confidence and compete in events like Special Olympics.
