Skate Club is a sporting program with a difference. No whistles and no uniforms – just personal progression and having fun.
The program is broken into two different levels, each level incorporates an elevated degree of technical difficulty, covering the basics of street and transition skateboarding.
What is Skate Club?
Skate Club provides a supportive learning environment with a social focus. It's more of group mentoring program rather than a lesson. We recommend that beginners complete at least one private lesson before joining Skate Club.
Skate Club (Intermediate)Skate Club is a regular group session held weekly. |
Skate Club (Advanced)Once you've graduated from Skate Club's intermediate level, the advanced level is a master class, which is the next step towards competition skateboarding and being a part of the Rivers Skate team! |
