what is the right age to start roller skates training for my son. he is 3 yrs old now.
Brief Answer:
Skating can be started after 5 years of age
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have read your case and I do not think that there is a minimum age of skating. I think till age of 4 years a child brain is not well developed to take care of sporting activity like skating. He may fall and injure him self. Also most of the bone are cartilaginous and any fracture can lead to deformity and growth problems.
I would say a supervised training can be started once he is five years of age. Make sure he is doing it under your guidance.
I hope this answer helps you.
let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
