Weekly Skates

TRIC holds multiple skates every week each targeted at different levels of skaters. [http://www.skatepittsburgh.com]
Skates are patrolled by the National Skate Patrol (NSP) local Pittsburgh chapter lead by Gene Slevinski. The patrolers lead many of the skates and attempt to keep the skaters safe while skating with pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic. The Pittsburgh NSP also runs start and stop clinics which teach new skaters the basics of skating.

The weekly skates run from early spring to mid fall.
