Skate The Foundry offers skateboard courses for both new and experienced youth skaters!
Skateboarding is not only a fun sport, but great way to learn balance, body coordination, creativity and teamwork. Here at Skate The Foundry, we create an environment to practice not only the body skills of skateboarding, but the patience and consistency the sport requires. We recognize that skateboarding extends beyond cool tricks and our teaching mirrors this. We help our skaters overcome their physical and mental barriers and grow as people.
What do I need to know as a parent?
Before enrolling into a course, we highly recommend first-time skaters take at least 1-3 private skateboard lessons before the first day of the program. For more information about booking your private lesson, click the link below.
We ask that you leave for the duration of the class and not attend the class as a spectator. It is a distraction for the children and instructor(s). You are welcome to come back and watch your skater’s progress 5-10 minutes before the class ends.
Once you complete the payment, no refund is available under any circumstances. $20 Registration Fee is included in the tuition. The Registration Fee is NOT transferable or creditable. Please double check all the dates before signing up.
Equipment Rental is available with the additional cost per class. If you have any questions, please contact us at 215-758-2518.
