Skaters will form a single file paceline. Paceline will start skating forward at a slow to moderate speed.
Rear most skater will be the weaving skater. Weaving skater will advance up the outside lane of the track towards the front and pass between the first and second skater. Then the weaving skater will slow and move backwards along the inside of the paceline and pass between the last 2 skaters in the line. The weaving skater will then advance up the outside lane of the track towards the front and pass between skaters 2 and 3. Then the skater will return backwards via the inside lane and pass between the 2nd and 3rd from last skaters. This pattern will continue until the weaving skater has passed through all of the spaced in the paceline, when the weaving skater will skate forward to the front of the paceline and become the new 1st skater.
Level 1: Only a single weaving skater will be weaving the line at a time. All skaters are communicating the weaving skater where their next weaving space, using arm gestures and "Hey, skater name over here! Pass in front of me!"
Level 2: After the weaving skater has passed though 2 spaces, the next skater at the back of the paceline becomes a second weaving skater. Pace line skaters are now responsible for telling both skaters where to go in the paceline. It helps to emphasis use of names.
skaters will improve frequency and efficiency of their communication on the track.
