BEGINNERS ONLY sessions are meant for those who are fairly new to skateboarding.

- Looking for guidance on foundational skills
Interested in skateboarding and not sure where to start? Come and develop your Yardwork skills! Join us at the Yard for our small group skateboard lessons in a safe and nurturing environment. All lessons are facilitated by our resident YARD instructors, who are ready to impart some of the beauty that is skateboarding -- community, physical and mental challenge, self-confidence, board assembly and repair, perseverance, wellness, and much more! Lesson sessions are 90 minutes long - 30 of which are "free skate" to practice and have fun! Attendees must bring their own safety equipment - including helmets, pads, and some stoke for the good of the crew. All minors (under 18) are required to wear a helmet and pads. Please note that the nature of learning skateboarding sometimes will require a hands-on approach by our instructor. Our instructor will be mindful of safety during these times.
Health considerations
In order for us to provide a safe environment, we take precautions at the Yard. We also ask all attendees and parent/guardians to take precautions as well.
- If you or anyone in your family is sick, has been recently exposed or exhibiting symptoms, please remain home and be well! Please complete a home self health check.
- Please maintain social distancing guidelines.
- Please consider bringing your own hand sanitizer. Use it before entering and when you exit the park. Hand sanitizer will be available.
- All attendees are highly encouraged to bring their own, full water bottle for their lesson. Water is available for purchase.
- We regularly clean the park and keep hand sanitizer available.
