Skate UOL is the skateboarding society at University of Leicester.
We are group of students of all ability levels, from people who have never skated before to people who have been doing it for years. We host both indoor and outdoor skate sessions, we'd love to see you there!
Whether you are a beginner or have been skating for ages and love it, you will feel welcome at our sessions. Our committee members are more than happy to help you learn or give trick tips, and all of our members are inclusive and will make you feel welcome and safe. We also offer free safety and skating equipment at our indoor sessions, with limited availibilty at the outdoor ones.
We aim to have an indoor sessions every 2 weeks at Skate Parlour, an indoor park in Leicester on Wednesday at 2-4pm. This is a fairly small skatepark, and therefore there is a limit of how many skaters can be skating at a time, as such, if you wish to attend an indoor session you will need to reserve your slot each time via the events tab on the Student Union Website (Tickets go live a week in advance)
On days which we do not host indoor sessions, we host outdoor sessions at either Victoria Park or Abbey Park, both in Leicester. As these are public parks, a ticket is not necessary to attend, however if you would like to make use of the equipment we provide you will need a membership. We also have a WhatsApp group in which we organise outdoor sessions.
For more sessions and socials please follow us on our Instagram page where we will keep you updated
Sidenote - Everyone falls while skating, pleases don't be scared to fall, everyone will make sure you're okay before they laugh
