We are on a mission along with President and Mrs. Obama to capture the attention, interest and hearts of school systems and organizations that cater to and service children, to convince them that skating would be an excellent alternative to combat childhood obesity. The Consumer Product Safety Commission found roller skating twice as safe as playgrounds and three times safer than basketball or football.
We market our services to the community, to schools, to children and family service organizations and to church groups with our mission to ensure the safety and well-being of children; to provide a place where children and families are taught by example, that conduct and a code of ethics is a necessary building block in becoming a good citizen and that roller skating provides numerous benefits for the mind, body and spirit.
We aspire to be an integral part of the solution to a problem that is affecting children in such negative ways. Roller skating is fun, challenging, interactive and rewarding.
It’s an easy sport that kids learn at their own pace. Skating and the will to perfect the skill of skating is an excellent way for children to interact in a non confrontational way and it is also one of the least expensive forms of recreation and exercise available on the market today. Statistics show that when children are given structure, leadership and direction they will follow. Kids want to believe and they want to belong. We want Rich City kids to believe they are capable; that they have talent and they have skills.
We are in the business of building self confidence and self esteem. One by one we help children stay off the streets and stay out of trouble while helping to condition the mind that they can come together without conflict. Skating at Rich City is an excellent way for children to learn social skills. And who said exercise isn’t fun. Roller skating at Rich City is a unique way to achieve health benefits while having fun. Thirty minutes of skating burns about 250 calories, so skating is an extremely good way of increasing your calorie expenditure, which will help you to reduce weight. Skating raises metabolic rate, improves weight control, boosts health and releases endorphins – the body’s happiness chemicals.
Roller skating is also recommended by the American Heart Association as an aerobic sport. Did you know that roller skating is equivalent to high impact aerobics ? The Average person can burn 504 calories by skating for 60 minutes and that is the equivalent of calories burned in jogging or high impact aerobics. So we say:Skate More – Burn More ! So help us to convince the community that the “Institution” of Roller Skating must be maintained and nurtured so it remains intact for generations to come. Let’s tackle our obesity issues in a way that is fun and natural. Let’s show the community that we are here to help, by providing an institution that will be a safe haven and second home for many. Skating at Rich City is fun you can feel. . . .So let’s keep it alive!
