Thanks to the City of Fremantle.
Freestyle Now will be conducting FREE rollerskating coaching sessions at the Esplanade Youth Plaza (Fremantle skatepark)
Session 1 - 9am
Session 2 - 10am
The workshop sessions would be open to any participant over the age of 6.
Bring your own helmet and skates Freestyle Now squad members will be present to offer participants technical advice, trick tips, skill development and skatepark etiquette.
Each coaching workshop session is 50 minutes long with a 10 minute parent information session conducted at between sessions to help educate parents on skatepark etiquette, understanding of skateboards, and safety issues. If you are in the second session be sure to arrive early to catch this important information.
Facilitators analyze the participant's skill level and work from that base and assist with confidence building. Skills can be taught but confidence cannot. It is important to not only just focus on skill building but confidence as well.
Instructors speak the participant’s language and speak at their level. Instructors relay this safety message to all participants and reiterate the importance of helmets and how they can minimize injuries. All participants need their own equipment and would also be required to wear a helmet and closed-in shoes.
Participants with defective rollerskates may not be able to participate. Facilitators may not be able to make repairs to participants' rollerskates during the coaching session. Participants under the age of 6 will be taken on their ability to understand and follow instructions and to control their apparatus.
