VERO BEACH — The Skate Factory is “rolling out” an exciting program to help children stay in good physical condition while having fun at the same time. And it’s for free.
Skate Factory has teamed up with www.KidsSkateFree.com and is offering kids up to 12 years old two free skating passes per week now through 2013. Times for the free skate include weekdays and weekends, days, and evenings.
“We heard about this program and immediately wanted to jump on board to offer it here in Vero Beach,” said Kevin Carroll, co-owner of Skate Factory, located at 485 27th Ave. SW.
“Both the American Heart Association and the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports recommend roller skating as a great fitness activity for persons of all ages, so it just made sense for Skate Factory to join in the cause to help fight childhood obesity while having fun at the same time,” Carroll added.
To register to receive the free passes, simply visit the website at www.KidsSkateFree.com and select Skate Factory from Florida’s list of participating skating centers.
Skaters are encouraged to bring their own skates; however, four-wheel and in-line skate rentals are available for an additional fee.
