_Description:_ Sarasota and Bradenton Skaters, come skate with us
every weekend. Roller Coasters Inline Skating Club may seem like a
lame name, but it's not a lame group. Whether you're a beginner,
novice, aggressive or recreational skater, this group of skaters has
fun. Some work on some serious aggressive skating to the point of
looking at building vert ramps and rails. Others skate with the group
to increase skills, meet other skaters (many adult singles), have fun,
exercise and to socialize. We even have some hockey skaters in our
group who are involved in some great local leagues. We skate a
different area every weekend (some night skates), as well as host
trips to Tampa and St. Pete. We are sponsered by Flamingo Coast
(RollerBlade Sales and Rentals) on St. Armands Circle, who gives us
discounts on equipment. We have our own instructor who hosts lessons
for beginners and novices every two weeks as well as private lessons
weekly.

_Description:_ Skate Inn East (now called Skate World), on 2563
Capital Circle NE (near the Scan Haus) twice a week at
Tuesday/Thursday 10:00-1:00. The amateur league (which will be
affiliated with USA Inline Hockey League, I think) will be starting
this fall (1996), but the ranks of the usual folks were recently
raided by FSU starting up a team, so they are trying to build
membership for the fall.
There is a $22 annual membership that provides insurance. It's
optional, but it gives you a $2 discount off of the $7 pick-up game
fee. You can also pay $45 at the beginning of each month (for the game
fees). It is also co-ed and they do have some women playing.
_Comments:_
If you come play, make sure to bring a white and dark jersey or shirt.
Teams are assigned from the sign-up list from each night, so you
won't know which color you'll be until right before game time.
