SKATEBOARD LESSONS & SESSIONS

Beginner, progressing, adults, open skate

At Copeland Park in Peckham we are open throughout winter for:

Skateboards & all safety
equipment provided

Group skateboarding lessons

The School of Skate operates skateboarding schools across London and Bournemouth. We started group skateboarding lessons in 2017 when the new skatepark opened in Charlton Park, in London SE7.

We have since expanded, starting group lessons at Folkestone Gardens skatepark, Deptford in 2020, and starting Victoria Park skatepark, Peckham Rye Park. andΒ  Whitegrounds, London Bridge in 2021. We provide both beginner and progressing skateboarding lessons. We teach boys, girls, and adults from 5 years old upwards with a wide range of abilities. We can provide skateboards & all safety equipment, or you can bring your own. We provide insured & DBS enhanced checked skateboard instructors.

Private skateboarding lessons

Whilst based in South London we provide private skateboarding lessons at skateparks across most of London. We have run birthday party lessons, Scout group lessons, and local Council events. We can arrange to bring portable ramps & rails to your venue. Please contact us if you have any questions about our services.

Beginner skateboarding lessons

Not everyone wants to do a laser flip down 16 stairs. At the School of Skate we recognise that the vast majority of us are beginners, who have more modest goals, so we focus on helping you stand up on your board, ride along, and falling (with style). The beginner classes take you to the point of being able to do The Drop In.

When you’ve learnt to drop in you can do your Beginner Grading, get the T-Shirt, and join the Progressing Group.

Learn more about our beginner skateboarding programme.

Progressing skateboarding lessons

We provide progressing group and private lessons. After you’ve learnt the basics we can take you forward to follow either a street or transition pathway. With street, you can learn to ollie, and grind (we have specialised equipment made just for this), and onto more advanced skills like the kickflip. With transition you learn to skate ramps and to carve bowls, and can learn lip tricks and airs.

If you’ve got any questions about progressing your skateboarding beyond the basics you can drop us a message.

My 14 year old nephew had several lessons at School of Skate as a gift from me and his Uncle. He went to Victoria Park in East London and was taught by the incredible Soren! My nephew would come away feeling happy, confident and proud in his new skills!! I could also see the progress and passion for skating emerge after lessons with Soren. Soren has a natural ability with a range of ages and has a calm and patient demeanor. My nephew would come home and sing Soren's praises and said "he was a pretty cool guy and a great teacher!" Which from a teenager is high praise indeed!!Thanks again to Soren and the team. You made summer fun!

I had a one-on-one class with Soren P from School of Skate this week. It was a lot of fun and he gave me some great tips - even managed to drop into a decent ramp unassisted by the end (something I had never done before). Would highly recommend! Cheers Soren πŸ™‚

We had a birthday party at School of Skate for our 7 year old at Peckham Rye. They had a blast. To quote one of the kids β€œBest Party Ever!”

I had my first skate lesson today and it was super!!! Rick was attentive, experienced and helped me progress very quickly. I am learning to surf skate so it was great to find somebody able to give me exercise specifically for this. Thanks!

Nilo ran a party for my son and his friends (12 x 5-6 year olds!) and it was fantastic! Most were quite nervous at the beginning, having not skateboarded before, however by the end of it their confidence and skills had really grown and they were all beaming with smiles.The parents have been passing on many thanks for an awesome party too.Highly recommended. Thank you School Of Skate!

My 8 year old has gained so much in confidence since having private lessons with Nilo and in just four sessions his technique has progressed so much. He absolutely loves Nilo. Highly recommend.

Fantastic skateboarding lesson, great experience and lots of fun! Jonty managed to give lots of attention to each one of the kids. He made the lesson fun and engaging but also tailored the practice to help each one of them to improve their skills. They all progressed really fast and gained a lot of confidence.

I took my 7 year old son for a 1 hour private lesson with his friend at School of Skate. He really enjoyed himself and progressed far faster in that hour than he ever had done before. We now have a set of things to work on to improve, and will definitely be booking another lesson in future.

My son does the beginner skateboard lessons at Charlton park and he's loving it. Nilo (the teacher) is brilliant, really knowledgeable, patient, enthusiastic, and excellent with the kids. Would highly recommend. So glad we found School of Skate

Rick was a great tutor for our 10 year old boy who is allergic to exercise. At the end of the 1 hour lesson he did not want to attend in the least, he announced "BTW I'm so coming back next week"! He has a mountain to climb in terms of learning to skate board but is in the right hands for this task. The class was great as instead of all the participants being given the same instructions, each child was taught what they needed to learn for their individual pace, skill level & past experience. We were very impressed with the calm, considerate & expert attention to each child's unique needs

Another student doing their practical assignment for their beginner grading πŸ™Œ

That`s a friendly little quarterpipe to learn on at @folkestone51

Analysis:
A cheeky right foot went down here to maintain balance. This demonstrated quick reactions, which is great πŸ‘

Preferably this correction should have been made with a toe edge carve, to bring the centre of gravity back to the centre line of the board. In this case it would have been a struggle, because the front foot isn`t quite square enough. Remember the rhyme `toes and heels over the wheels`. πŸ‘Ÿ

How good is your carve? Invariably, as a learner, it can do with work. Practice your carve every time you go out. Buy some cones. Do a slalom. Adjust your trucks if need be πŸ›Ή

Lastly, keep your feet on the board. Even when you make mistakes or fall. Use your hands to stabilise. You should know what the board feels like under your feet when you do something wrong in order to learn what`s right. Make mistakes. It`s how we learn πŸ§‘β€πŸŽ“

Some progress at the progressing group πŸ™Œ

First The Drop In on the quarter.
We`ve decided do lower the bar for the pro group. The drop in is hard, so have decided to make The Roll In the required skill for entry to the pro class...

Here we are working on the basic fakie 360 kickturn going backside on the ramp. It doesn`t look much but when you get up to the coping...

We`ve just published our Know-your-skateboard video post, including `The Quick Skateboard` test

Maybe you`re the owner of a brand spanking new skateboard?

To learn to skate you need to know how your skateboard works (or doesn`t as the case may be). Our video walks you thorough the component parts of your skateboard, and how these parts work together. We discuss some common issues and how you might fix them.

Coach @thecarlcarter will be running a workshop at @copelands_sp this Sunday 4pm if you want to get hands on πŸ”§
