The lessons cater for Newcomers and beginners to "transitioning to intermediate" Skaters.

ABOUT THE SELF-EXPRESSION JAM SESSION

This is not a class, but a chance for participants to have extra support to focus on their own progression. Giving them the experience of a comp setting with loads of prize giveaways to be won. The session will help to boost their confidence and become familiar with and keep the momentum going to move to the next level of competing in bigger jams and comps. All while highlighting and appreciating the time, energy, and effort they have put into getting good at skating.

WHAT CLASS SHOULD I REGISTER FOR?

We have created this simple guide to help you decide which class will be best suited for you/your child.

Our beginner class is for skill level 0 to 1, and the intermediate class and self-expression jam session are for skill level 2 to 3.

Level 0 - The Newcomer

Level 2 - Transition into Intermediate

Level 3 - Intermediate

Is confident on a skateboard, knows the foundational skills(tick tac, calving, etc), a few tricks(ollies, drop-ins, etc), and wants to advance to the next level(flip tricks, grinds, etc)
