End of Season Sports Parties in East Texas
The flowers are blooming, the birds are hatching, and spring sports season is underway. At Skate Ranch and Skate-O-Rama, we are looking ahead to the end of the spring sports season. Have you considered where to host your end of season banquet or celebration for your softball, baseball, or golf team? We suggest a roller skating party at Skate Ranch in Lufkin or Skate-O-Rama in Nacodoches!
Our skating rinks in Deep East Texas provide plenty of space for your team to celebrate the season. The entire track and field team along with all friends and family members can easily fit into our facility. This is also true for the lacrosse, golf, soccer, baseball and softball teams. We know you’ll need lots of space to celebrate and space is something we can definitely offer.
In addition to space, we’ve got plenty for your team to do to celebrate throughout your time roller skating. You can lace up your skates and continue on the competition with some of our skating games. Or, you can try your luck against the coach with some of our arcade games.
Contact Skate Ranch or Skate-O-Rama to book your end of season party or fundraiser. We will gladly provide your team with one of the most memorable end of season celebrations ever!
Let’s Get Physical with Spring Time Skating
According to the calendar spring time is here! For some that means spring cleaning, and for others provides a renewed initiative to get fit after the winter. We found tht the Mayo Clinic suggests that people exercise for at least thirty minutes a day. At Skate Ranch in Lufkin, TX, we think a great part of regular exercise should involve roller skating! Roller skating is good for the heart as it provides a great aerobic alternative to walking or running. When roller skating, not only are you getting that heart rate up, but you are also burning calories. We should also mention that it is much easier on the joints than the strain running places on the ankles and knees.
We have tons of opportunities this month for you to join us at Skate Ranch and at Skate-O-Rama in Nacogdoches. Whether you consider yourself young or old, come on out for one of our great events at our Lufkin and our Nacogdoches locations!
Don’t forget to follow Skate-O-Rama on Twitter, Facebook, and Google + and Skate Ranch on Twitter, Facebook, andGoogle + to keep up with other opportunities that we will offer to help get you rolling along this spring and summer!

Home school skaters this is your chance to kill two birds with one stone. Join us Friday, March 6, from 3-6pm for our Home School Skate. Not only is roller skating at Skate Ranch fun for the whole family, but it is possible that it can help you with science or physical education requirements.
Physical Fitness
Roller skating provides plenty of exercise. If you are working on physical fitness requirements for your home school curriculum, we’d love to see how creative you can get. Why not use roller skating to help meet part of that goal?!
Science
Whether your home school group is covering the basics of simple machines at the elementary level, or force and motion with physics, the roller skating rink provides plenty of hands on (or feet on) experience. Roller skating will allow you the opportunity to be creative and gain first-hand observations in how skates work as compound machines made up of several simple machines and in acceleration as well.
While physical fitness and science may be part of the curriculum you are studying, we don’t want to discount the fun that comes with getting social.
