"Is my kid old enough?" is the question we answer most, and the honest answer changes a lot between three and fourteen. Attention span, balance and fear all move on their own timelines.
This page lays out what a lesson actually looks like at each age so you can book the right thing rather than guessing.
What you'll learn
- Ages 3–5: balance, stepping on and off, rolling without fear
- Ages 6–9: pushing, stopping, turning and the first ollie
- Ages 10–14: banks, ramps, drop-ins and trick progression
- Every age: falling safely and wearing gear without a fight
- Every age: park etiquette and skating around other people
- Every age: one clear target per session, written down
What riders and parents say
“He has been amazing not only for my son, but for me (43yo male) as well! … In the past three months, my son and I have been crushing it thanks to Coach Evan's simplistic way of teaching and meeting us where we are at. We are now doing tricks, drop-ins, and surfing our way through skateparks wherever we can find one!”
“That was awesome. Finn LOVED it and can’t wait for the next one. You are a great instructor.”
How a session runs
Ages 3–5
Everything is a game. Five minutes on, two minutes off. We finish on a high rather than pushing to the clock — sessions here are often shorter than an hour on purpose.
Ages 6–9
One target per session and enough repetition to make it stick. This is the age where the ollie usually arrives, and where confidence outruns skill if nobody's watching.
Ages 10–14
Full skatepark sessions. Lines, transitions, drop-ins and filmed attempts, plus honest coaching on what to practise between lessons.
Kids Lessons by Age questions
What age can a kid start skateboarding lessons?
Around three, if they walk confidently and can follow a one-step instruction. Three to five runs as our Skater Tots format; six and up moves into structured lessons.
How much are kids skateboard lessons?
$100 per hour at every age, and up to four kids can share one lesson and split the fee. Ask about the 4-pack for a package rate.
Is my child too young to keep up?
We coach to the child, not the calendar. If a five-year-old is ready for structure they get it, and if a seven-year-old needs games we play games.
Do siblings of different ages learn together?
Yes, and it works well. One coach, two levels, one shared fee — the older one usually ends up demonstrating, which helps them more than it helps the younger one.
