Skate Great founder, Debbie Merrill, fell in love with inline skating when it first debuted on Venice Beach, California in 1985. A silver medalist in U.S. figure skating, she opened California's first inline skating school, "Glide With Pride", in the summer of 1986 because she wanted to bring the artistry of figure skating out of the ice rink and onto the beach.
Skate Great's mission is to make learning to skate SAFE, FUN and EASY. All Skate Great instruction incorporates Debbie's teaching philosophy and her emphasis of the skater's edge. "Understanding the edge is the key to right technique," explains Debbie, "and right technique is the key to great skating." The Quick Edge™ and Edge Master™ programs taught by Skate Great evolved out of Debbie Merrill's more than 20 years of experience teaching all forms of skating as well as dancing.
Skate Great offers group and private classes for both adult and children in recreational inline, roller and ice skating. We also offer custom classes in specialties including skate boarding, hockey, extreme, distance, fitness, dance and figure skating. All instruction includes technique demonstration, move breakdown and supervised practice with monitoring and adjusting from expert Skate Great instructors.
We've successfully taught our program to more than 10,000 students from all over the world. Let us teach you how to "get rolling" today!

Debbie Merrill
With double certifications from the International Inline Skaters Association (IISA), Debbie knows that there is a big difference between taking a skating lesson and learning to skate. "Learning to skate is a process, not an event," explains Debbie. "You will learn more in one Skate Great lesson than most other schools teach in five. But, becoming a great skater requires continuity and commitment which is why most of our students take our multi-lesson courses."
Debbie Merrill's clients range from major celebrities to school children and from absolute beginners to competition-level skaters. In addition to private instruction, she provides inline, roller and ice skating consulting, coaching, choreography, casting and location scouting for television and film. Debbie is also available through her agent for demonstrations, exhibitions and performances (SAG/AFTRA/AEA).
