Skate Skool: Ages 11-17

For jr. shredders that are just starting out on a skateboard and want to learn the basics like stance, pushing, turning and stopping.

For kids who know the basics, we will focus on techniques for developing board control through moves such as ollies, shove-its, body varials and other beginner level tricks. These tricks will then be applied to the flatground, ramps and other built obstacles during the session.

HELMETS, KNEE PADS AND ELBOW PADS ARE REQUIRED. PADS MAY BE PROVIDED IF NEEDED WITH VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY ONSITE. BRINGING YOUR OWN PADS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Note: a legal guardian must be present and sign waiver upon entry to the skatepark.

Park Rules and Regulations

• All participants will be allowed to use the skatepark (the “Park”) if they are wearing full protective gear, including, but not limited to, a helmet and hard-shell elbow and knee pads. Helmets must always be buckled while in the Park. Skaters 18 years of age or older may elect to not wear a helmet, knee pads or elbow pads subject to signing the Park’s Waiver and Release of Liability and Express Assumption of Risk (“Waiver”). A parent or legal guardian may waive the requirement to have their minor child wear elbow and knee pads while skateboarding by signing the Waiver but a helmet is still required. For Vans Skate Skool classes, minors are required to wear a helmet, elbow and knee pads.

• All participants must have a signed Waiver on file with the Park. Participants under the age of 18 must have their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) sign the Waiver, in the presence of a Park employee or a notary public (there are no exceptions to this rule).

• The Park is for skateboarding only. All other uses are prohibited.

• Skateboarding is a hazardous activity.

• No spectators are permitted in the designated skate park area without Park staff approval.

• All participants must always ride safely and avoid collisions with other participants, Park staff and other individuals. Be respectful -- profanity, abusive language, fighting or other aggressive, intimidating, threatening, abusive, insulting, offensive, discriminatory, objectionable or disruptive behavior or conduct in whatever form will result in ejection from the Park and may result in a permanent ban from the Park.

• No one is allowed inside the Park when the facility is closed.

• Please only ride in designated areas and on approved obstacles and features.
