The first 2 sessions of each day will be aimed at beginner level riders. The third session is for intermediate level riders. All sessions will be suitable for ages 5–17 years.

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

Boards and all necessary protective gear can be provided, if your child has their own they are welcome to bring it along (note: we will need to check their equipment is suitable).

Bookings are essential.

This is a COVID-Safe event, and upon arrival all attendees must check-in at the sign-in table. We ask that parents and spectators stay outside of the teaching area whenever possible, and if your child is unwell, that they do not attend.
