The abundance of skating area is matched by its use. Soc n' Roll has quickly become home to 220 players on 24 teams, including two teams composed of USA Hockey and USA Hockey InLine National Office staff. They shouldn't take themselves too seriously and everyone should just be able to enjoy the game. Yates adds that the only problems that arise during play are caused when players take an overly aggressive approach to what should be a recreational activity. To ensure that everyone who wants to play inline hockey can have fun, several leagues have been created.
Players can work their way from beginner to advanced leagues to develop skills and confidence.
Yates says the separate leagues allow players to participate at whatever level they feel most comfortable. That allows the players with less experience to spend a few seasons in beginner or intermediate leagues and then move up, if they want. Soc n' Roll's hockey director Mick Pyle also looks forward to more formal training sessions. The time crunch isn't created as much by the needs of the hockey public as it is from the other sporting populations served by Soc n' Roll. In addition to its inline leagues, the staff runs indoor soccer leagues consisting of 88 teams, volleyball leagues, and holds open skating.
