We have designed our Private Lessons for all ages and ability whether you are completely new to skateboarding or want to focus on a specific area. We can recommend many venues from skate parks to street spots, learning in the park or we can travel to you.
Skateboarding is quite a hard skill to pick up especially learning foot placement and leg weight distribution. However, because it crosses over the mid-line of the body, it is great for building up co-ordination, balance and motor skills.
We have found that beginners particularly younger children can struggle to learn how to get up onto the board. Our private lessons break this down using a variety of different techniques to build up their strength, speed and confidence.
By the end of the session, we are confident that your children will understand how to go up and down the ramps, push off comfortably, turn forwards and backwards and most importantly of all learn to fall correctly!
For children who have skateboarded before or for the quick learners, we move on to turning on the ramps; curb work and really awesome tricks that will build the confidence to starting harder tricks such as the Ollie.
Our advanced programme is for children who have grasped skateboarding and are keen to start flicking, jumping and spinning the board. We also teach drop ins and half pipe.
We can provide helmets, skateboards and pads free of charge in case you do not have your own. All the children will be required to wear knee, elbow and wrist pads, helmets and they will be given a skateboard which will be adequate for their size. All our equipment is industry standard and meets all the health and safety requirements.
