Roller Sport South Africa is proud to announce the 2010 South African Open Speed Roller Skating Championship.

South Africa’s best skaters will face tough competition from world medal winners who have already confirmed their participation in the event. Local teams from Eastern Cape, Central Gauteng, North West, Northern Gauteng, southern Gauteng, and Western Cape will battle it out to become South African champions.

Why this event is being publicised on the BRSF website?

It will be recalled that at both the CERS Congress of September 2008 and the FIRS Congress of February 2009 all National Governing Bodies were requested to assist and support the promotion of all roller sports on the African Continent.

This then is the first roller event which has come to the attention of the British Roller Sports Federation
and we are very comfortable to give this international event appropriate publicity.
