In celebration of International Women's Day 2024 we are creating space for Women and NB people to learn in an environment without men. We are delighted to offer the first coaching course in the Skateboard GB Coach Development program: Get Rolling.
Get Rolling is the first Skateboard GB accredited skateboard coaching course. The course is designed to support those starting their coaching career and prepare them for employment as a professional coach or instructor in skateboarding.
The Get Rolling course equips coaches to offer a safe and positive entry point into skating, taking the next generation of skateboarders from their first step on a board to basic ramp tricks. The course focuses on participation rather than performance, with the aim of getting more and more young people on skateboards, and involved in a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Principles of planning, delivering and evaluating safe coaching sessions.
Technical aspects to teaching beginner skateboard sessions.
How to write and create a lesson plan.
Anatomy of a skateboard.
Delivering skatepark etiquette.
How to do a risk assessment
Following the course, you will be able to plan, deliver and evaluate individual skateboarding sessions in order to get more people skateboarding, whether that’s in skateparks, schools or the community.
£200 per person: Includes 1 year Skateboard GB Coach Membership, with public liability insurance to coach anywhere in the UK.
Online course on the principles of coaching, followed by a 1 day face-to-face course (usually over a weekend) from 10am until 5pm
