LEVEL GUIDE
Use skills, not labels, to choose the group.
| Level | Current ability | Typical focus | Best programme |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | New to standing or rolling | Stance, stepping, safe falling | First Push |
| Stage 2 | Can roll but stopping is inconsistent | Speed control, turns, park awareness | Foundations |
| Stage 3 | Can stop and turn independently | Ollie stages, manuals, low obstacles | Street Skills |
| Stage 4 | Comfortable on simple park features | Transitions, lines and repeatability | Park Progression |
| Stage 5 | Working on advanced movement | Technical review and performance tasks | Private Coaching |
A coach confirms the final group after observing stance, stopping, speed and awareness.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRACK
Street and park skills share foundations, not identical demands.
Street sessions focus on flat-ground control, obstacle approach and landing quality. Park sessions add transition speed, route choice and shared-line awareness.
- Foundation control required for both tracks
- Street tasks use low obstacles and repeatable setups
- Park tasks use transitions and linked features
- Private sessions can combine both when appropriate
FIRST SESSION FORMAT
One assessment, one useful focus, one next step.
Equipment
Board setup, helmet fit and suitable footwear.
Movement
Stance, rolling, stopping and confidence check.
Coaching task
A level-matched drill with one clear cue.
Recommendation
Programme, session length and next practice point.
PROGRAMME QUESTIONS
Choose with confidence.
Can siblings join the same group?
Only when their levels and session needs are compatible. Age alone does not decide the group.
Can a beginner start in a park programme?
Beginners first build stopping, turning and shared-space awareness on simple terrain.
Are private sessions available?
Yes. Private coaching is useful for first-time confidence, specific skill work and performance review.
Does the academy guarantee a trick?
No. Coaching provides safe progressions and feedback, but learning speed differs for every skater.
