When our skaters hit the track at St. Mary’s or prepare for rallies at Marine Drive, they are applying techniques we have refined for decades—like parachute resistance for explosive speed or specific race strategies. Whether your goal is a national podium or just mastering your first roll, the training here is designed to make you race-ready. ### Beyond the Medals We see competitions as more than just a trophy. It is about the transition from "mere ko skating karna bahut pasand hai" (I love skating) to the discipline of the starting line. Our annual speed skating championship, held at venues like St. Mary’s ICSE, is open to everyone because we believe the experience of racing builds confidence that lasts long after the event ends. ### How We Train Champions Our advanced training isn't just about rolling forward. We focus on: * **Explosive Power:** Using resistance parachutes and agility ladders to build the strength needed for 200m to 1000m races. * **Technique:** Mastering edge control and start-line sprints under the guidance of coaches like Afzal and Akbar. * **Road Readiness:** Conducting endurance sessions at locations like Marine Drive and Ballard Pier to mimic real-world racing conditions. ### A Skating Family Since 1989 We have spent over 30 years building a community. We have seen 6-year-olds with their first finisher medals grow into professional skaters who are now bringing their own children to learn from us. Whether it is our fancy dress contests where kids glide as their favorite characters or our rigorous speed batches, our focus remains on creating a supportive environment. Every fall is part of the process, and every comeback is a win. ## About Zia's Academy I’m Zia. I started skating in '89, and my son Afzal and I now lead this family of skaters. We don't just teach skating, we build confidence, helping kids grow from their very first fall to their biggest win.
