Adult skate coaching - new date after wet weather postponement!
If you're an adult looking for a comfortable environment to learn skateboarding, join us at the Joshua Dale skatepark in Colwick for two weekend coaching sessions for anyone aged 18+.
This park is perfect for beginners, intermediate or returning skaters alike - with loads of open space, smooth concrete, and just a few low impact obstacles including curbs and a manny pad. Our trained coaches can give you all the tips you need, or help you learn from scratch if you're stepping on a skateboard for the first time!
Get outdoors in the sunshine, try something new, and build your confidence with other adults. These sessions are kindly funded by a Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Mental Wellbeing Small Grant to bring people together and improve wellbeing. Immediately after the coaching is a 'Curb Club' open session for adults to hang out on a Sunday afternoon!
To find the skatepark, walk down the path or across the field from the playground in Rectory Playing Field - the skatepark space is next to the football pitch.
You only need to reserve tickets if you need to borrow a skateboard and helmet. If you have your own kit, you can just turn up without booking. We have 25 helmets and complete skateboards which are free to use. All participants should arrive with appropriate footwear, such as trainers, gym shoes or plimsolls. Please do not wear sandals, crocs, flip-flops or other open-toed shoes, or shoes with raised heels or wedges.
All coaches are experienced, with DBS certificates and child safeguarding training. This event is insured through Skate Nottingham's community group membership of Skateboard GB, the National Governing Body for skateboarding.
We will register all participants on arrival.
