YMCA’s Air Skate Park team are set to launch their first official skateboarding coaching programme with dedicated sessions for under 8’s and 8+ starting this Saturday 20th June.
Each programme will run for 6 weeks with Air co-ordinator and qualified skateboard coach Ryan McNamara.
Through this new programme young riders will progress through levels 1 to 6 (beginners to intermediates) learning at their pace.
Participants will also be introduced to skate park do’s and don’ts and the importance of safety first.
