United Skates will be working with the Singapore RollerSports Federation and SportSG to achieve this by ensuring the capabilities of The Collective to train athletes to world-class levels.

"One of the most important factors for us is community and personal development," states United Skates Founder Nic Ferguson. "We want to create an environment that offers acceptance and safety,while also providing avenues for development,progression and growth. The Collective is designed to accommodate all rollersports enthusiasts,from first time users who are just starting out to pro-level skaters who want to push themselves. The goal is to make sure it serves the larger community,but also nurture future National and International champions.
Designed to provide a space that serves all levels,The Collective Indoor Skatepark incorporates a three-foot half-bowl and a ten-foot roll-in that leads to a 20-foot by 20-foot foam pit. There will also be street skating elements at the park,such as curbs,rail slides and manual pads.
