The National Skate Patrol (NSP) was developed in 1992 by the New York Road Skaters Association (NYRSA) and International Inline Skating Association (IISA). The NSP is a network of proficient volunteers who help skaters to better coexist with motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other park and trail users. These red-shirted volunteers assist with street skating events, conduct free braking clinics, offer tips on skate etiquette, and otherwise assist new and experienced skaters alike.

As active participants in our local communities NSP is often involved with other sporting groups, special events, and community organizations…sometimes as Course Marshals, sometimes participating in Neighborhood Watch and many other cooperative activities. NSP’ers are often seen distributing skate safety maps, working with the local police, assisting park departments, and staging events with skate retailers. Many are Certified Instructors. In some cases NSP’ers are students satisfying community service requirements. There are currently 16 NSP chapters in a number of major US cities and
