Skate Club info

The Skate Club program is designed to progress you through the beginner and intermediate stages of skateboarding. The curriculum has been planned to keep people engaged in the sport as they advance through each levels.

The program is broken into three different levels, each level incorporates an elevated degree of technical difficulty, covering the basics of street and transition skateboarding.

– Level 1 – The Grommet: Covers the basics around Footwork, Street and Transition skills
– Level 2 – Jnr Roller: Continues into intermediate skills of Footwork, Street and Transition skateboarding and skateboarding culture
– Level 3 – Shredder: Covers intermediate Street, Transition skateboarding skills and skateboarding culture

Skate Club facilitators, focus on progressing the students through the three different levels. We track the students’ progression through the levels and actively demonstrate and describe the necessary techniques to achieve the desired outcomes.

The emphasis for the skate club sessions are on progression and fun. As we take the students through the sessions, we re-force basic skills around skateboarding, injury prevention, safety and technique and skate park etiquette.
