SKATE WITH US!
New England Roller Sports (NERS)
Experience the excitement and artistry of figure skating without the need for an ice rink. New England Roller Sports (NERS) is New Hampshire's premier inline figure skating training center, offering a unique sport that combines the grace of figure skating with the versatility of specialized inline skates designed to closely mimic the feel and movement of an ice blade.
As one of the first programs of its kind in New Hampshire, NERS brings a rapidly growing international sport to skaters of all ages and abilities. Located in the heart of Manchester, New Hampshire, we provide a fun, safe, and supportive environment where beginners can learn the fundamentals and experienced athletes can develop advanced skills for performance and competition.
Our programs follow the nationally recognized Learn to Skate USA curriculum, utilizing proven teaching methods and progressive skill development to build strong skating technique, confidence, balance, coordination, and physical fitness. Whether your goal is recreational skating, personal achievement, artistic performance, or competitive training, our experienced coaches are committed to helping every skater reach their full potential.
From first-time skaters to advanced athletes pursuing opportunities through organizations such as the World Inline Figure Skating Association (WIFSA), USARS, and other competitive pathways, New England Roller Sports offers high-quality instruction and a welcoming community where lifelong friendships and lasting memories are made.
Join us and discover why skaters throughout New England are choosing inline figure skating—the sport that brings the beauty of figure skating off the ice and onto wheels.
Modern inline figure skating has existed since the 1990's. WIFSA (World Inline Figure Skating Association), on the other hand, has only existed for a few years now. They comprise well over fifteen nations so far. It is responsible for organizing the competitions, writing the rules and developing the discipline. We hope to inspire figure skaters and hockey players to train with us and be a part of the growing trend here in Manchester New Hampshire. We draw skaters from across the New England region.
Why Artistic Inline Skating?
Inline figure skating frames have a special feature of being bent like a figure skating blade and having a toe stop (brake) to imitate the claws of the skates for toe jumps. This is called “rockering“. They are lighter than quad skates, more agile and above all quieter.
The inline skate has a remarkable similarity to the feel of a figure skating blade on ice. You can jump, spin, dance, and perform all the same footwork elements. You can actually feel the inside and outside edges on this skate, and the toe-stopper works just like a toe pick.
Our skaters practice in the style of skate of their choosing. We teach on inline skates, rollerblades, quads and more. Hockey skates are only for our hockey players. As our skaters advance we highly recommend the Pic Skate or any Artistic Inline skate set up as this is our specialty.
From building foundations, to building futures in a life long sport, our program will improve your abilities and foster your desire to move in a wide variety of sports and activities!
