Learn to skate holiday clinic

Skate now is offering the popular Kids Skate program at Lyne Park.

About our program

Our program is based on low-risk, gradated learning, delivered with a balance of fun, skill development and safety instructions. Our enthusiastic team of instructors are experts at teaching the steps involved in learning to ride safely, in a way children can easily understand and follow. We support students as they build their skills at their own pace, gain confidence, learn skatepark etiquette and make friends along the way.

We can provide boards and all necessary protective gear, but if your child has their own, we advise that you bring it along (note: we will need to check their equipment is suitable).

Beginner Sessions

The beginner sessions will be run on the Lyne Park basketball court which is booked for our exclusive use. These sessions are suited for skaters who are just starting out, or have a few basic skills under their belt.

After the introduction and check in with each student, we will gear up and run through our signature Skate Now warmup. Students will then move onto practicing skills such as safe pushing, stance, board control and developing awareness of their surroundings. After this stage students can build on their basics and ride beginner-oriented skate obstacles.
