Thank you for your interest in joining the Society of Roller Skating Teachers of America (SRSTA) membership program, supported by the Roller Skating Association. Established in 1940, SRSTA comprises roller skating coaches and instructors across various skating disciplines, including basic roller skating skills, artistic, speed, and hockey. Our mission is to foster growth within each skating discipline, from nurturing beginners to coaching advanced skaters in national competitions.
SRSTA members actively employ the RSA Achievement Program as a cornerstone training tool for athletes, aligning with competition requirements. This program fosters a non-competitive learning environment, promoting frequent skating, advancing skills through proper techniques, and offering comprehensive testing for all skaters, whether recreational or competitive.
