What schools order
A class set for a PE skating unit. Enough pairs for the largest section, plus spares, in a size run that matches the grades served. Elementary schools lean on adjustable kids skates for K to 2 and fixed-size quads above that.
A whole-school set with storage. Larger orders that rotate through every grade over a semester, stored on rolling carts between units. We quote carts and bins alongside the skates when asked.
Safety gear. Helmets, wrist guards, and pad sets, counted to the same head count, in youth and adult sizes.
Before you request a quote
- Pull sizes from the roster or use age bands. The size guide shows how to turn either into a size run.
- Confirm the floor. Hardwood gym floors need non-marking indoor wheels. A blacktop unit needs outdoor wheels or a hybrid.
- Decide who pays. District PO, school activity fund, PTO, or a grant. The quote can be split across payers.
- Check the calendar. Orders placed four to six weeks before the unit starts avoid the spring rush.
Paying for the program
Schools fund skate programs through district PE budgets, PTO and booster funds, education foundation grants, and state SHAPE association mini-grants. The funding page lists the sources other schools have used and what a quote needs to include to go into an application.
After delivery
Shared skates need a small spares kit: toe stops, laces, wheels, and bearings. Every school quote offers one at cost on the first order, which is the difference between a pair sidelined for a semester and a pair fixed by the PE teacher in five minutes.
Frequently asked questions
How many pairs does an elementary school need?
Most schools size a class set to the largest PE section plus 10 to 15 percent spares, then add pairs in the sizes the roster shows are thin. A 30-student section usually runs 36 to 40 pairs. A whole-school rotation with storage often lands between 60 and 150 pairs.
Can we pay with a purchase order?
Yes. Schools and districts pay by purchase order with net terms. We supply a W-9, vendor registration forms, and a quote formatted for your requisition system.
Are the skates safe on a gym floor?
Indoor wheels are non-marking and are the default on school orders. Tell us the floor type (hardwood, rubber, or polished concrete) and the quote specifies the wheel.
Do you supply helmets and pads too?
Yes. Helmets, wrist guards, and knee and elbow pad sets are quoted as optional lines so the program can arrive complete in one delivery.
Can a PTO, PTA, or booster club buy for the school?
Yes. Parent groups buy by card or ACH, and the quote can be split so the school pays for skates and the parent group pays for safety gear, or the other way round.
