MEET OUR TEAM
Elite Teams
The Elite skaters are all competitive skaters under our governing body - GB Skate Artistic (GBSA). We have two levels of teams.
1. Pro Team
2. Competition Team
We also have a team of 4 dedicated coaches who make up the Coaching Team.
Our club is run by the Elite Committee and Head Coach - together we make sure all the organisational tasks are done in the background so training and competitions run smoothly.
We post regular updates on our club Instagram page
PRO Team season 2024
The Pro Team are the National and International level athletes at Elite. The Pro team skaters train all year around with the goal to make top 10 in GB in their categories and achieve a selection to represent Great Britain at international competitions. Their focus is on RollArt and World Skate requirements.
At the moment, the Pro athletes are training hard for the 2024 National British Championships held at Breydon arena in June/July.

What our team say about us
"Joining Elite has been a massive positive in our lives. This club demonstrates best practice in everything from outstanding levels of coaching, mindset mentoring, aspirational long term vision and a true commitment to get the best out of each and every skater. Politics and prima donnas have no place here. Instead there’s a palpable love of this wonderful, challenging sport that inspires each skater and even affects us parents, watching from the sidelines. Our team are learning so much more than just skating. I am genuinely grateful to be a part of it."
"I love that we feel supported and the club has a family feel to it. The skaters all support each other and nobody has the attitude that they are any better than anyone else. Everyone wants everyone to succeed and do their best"
"Elite is big enough to be impressive but contained enough to feel friendly and supportive. It's been quite the eye-opener to see how all its skaters have made so much progress, proving the quality of coaching they're getting. They're learning life lessons about patience, focus, concentration, application and mutual support. It all feels very valuable"
"Everything about this Club is simply fabulous! The attention to detail, patience and skill level of all of our Coaches. The dedication, discipline and determination of our skaters. And last but certainly not least… The wonderful Parent Squad. So much has been achieved in 5 years. Can only imagine where the next 5 years will take us. Go Team Elite"
"We are lucky to have been with Lauren right at the start of her coaching career. Her talent and dedication shone through right from the start and the rest is history! There really is no other club like it, the coaching, support and fun is unmatched in the UK. We are all very lucky!!"
