Skaters start behind each other on the inside boundary of the track, with 10ft in between. All exercises move from the inside boundary to the outside boundary. Skaters will:

• Sprint side to side, touching the boundary
• Walk sideways on all wheels as fast as possible, touching the boundary
• Hop (a little airtime!) sideways on all wheels as fast as possible, touching the boundary

Let them do all of these 2x for 30 sec, with a 15sec rest in between.

Next have the skaters make pairs, and stand each pair in the middle of the track, as a tight 2-wall. On your signal, they sprint to the boundary closest to them sideways, touch it, then go back and meet in the middle, forming a tight two-wall again.

First part: endurance, stability and speed increase.

Second part: good communication and synchronization with partner, fast there and back, stable and tight 2-wall. Skaters get a little speed from pushing off each other in the middle.
