Our mission

Creating youth empowerment and community joy through roller skating.

Movement is my medicine.

Founder story

Meet Sharon Love, founder of Love in Motion

Growing up in Buffalo, New York, I learned early that roller skating was so much more than a hobby — it saved my life.

On those wheels I found discipline. By God’s grace I found healing. And I found a purpose I didn’t even know I was missing.

Now my heart is to pass that same gift on — to empower our young people, to bring our community together, and to spread joy one glide at a time. That’s what Love in Motion is all about.

I can’t wait to see you on the court.

With love, Sharon Love Founder, Love in Motion

Puerto Viejo needs Love in Motion

How we strive to elevate our community

More youth recreation

Safe, active places for young people to play and grow.

Structured family activities

Regular events that bring parents and kids together.

Positive outlets for young people

Movement, mentorship and somewhere to belong.

Youth thrive when they have movement, mentorship, and community.

Workshops & skate parties

From first wobble to full glide

Kids, parents, grandparents — everyone rolls. Our workshops meet people wherever they are, from never-ever beginners to skaters ready to dance on wheels.

Learn-to-skate workshops
Balance, stopping, falling safely and getting back up — for kids and adults.
Skill sessions
Footwork, rhythm and confidence for skaters who already know how.
Skate parties
Music, lights and community nights at venues across the Caribbean coast.
