The City’s split-skills class allows participants to progress at their own pace, with opportunities to review concepts and objectives as needed. Our skate instructors create a positive environment through a combination of group and one-on-one instruction, helping your child become a safer and more skilled skater.

After a preliminary assessment by our instructors, participants are placed in groups with skaters of similar skill levels. Beginner instruction is designed for skateboarders who can maneuver on flat surfaces, while intermediate instruction caters to skaters with some skate park experience. Students are encouraged to advance at their own pace with guidance from both group and one-on-one sessions.

Skills Covered:

• Park etiquette
• Kick-turns
• Tac-turns
• Riding fakie
• Ollies
• Pumping
• Safe approach to ramps
• Dropping in

Details:

• Ages: 7 - 14 by the first day of the program
• Dates: See calendar for dates
• Hours: 10 AM - Noon
• Fees: $23 (Resident) / $30 (Nonresident)
