COACHING PATHWAYS

Six ways to build useful skating.

Park Progression

Transitions, pumping, kickturns, carving and linked park runs.

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

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.
