PROGRAMS
Family Skate is becoming one of our fastest growing programs run by one of our top instructors Alex Gallagher and is the best way to have fun with your children. It runs every Sunday from 10am until 12pm. Our Family Skate program is a one hour group lesson, followed by one hour of open skate. The best part about Family Skate is that it is only $10 and includes any rental safety equipment required! We are in need of a sponsor for Family Skate which brings lots of families into our park.
At C.J. Skateboard Park, we have a variety of different lessons and programs that people can attend. On Saturdays we offer a Beginner Group Lesson @ 10:00, a Girls Group lesson @ 12:00 and another Group Lesson @ 1:00. Please remember to arrive 15 mins ahead of time to sign in, get your equipment on and arrange a rental locker to store your personal effects and valuables. A reminder: we are now starting all lessons on the hour no exceptions. If you are late then join in but the lesson will end for the next lesson to start on time. Thank you for your understanding and hope to see you sign up for one of our lesson plans soon.
One in particular that is growing and becoming very popular is our Beginner Group lesson. In our Beginner group lessons, we start off with a group stretch, and then our instructor will assess the different abilities of each student, and guide each of them in a direction to better their abilities. After the one hour lesson, students also get one hour of free skate to practice what they have learned. Our Beginner Group Lesson, in addition to Saturday morning at 10:00, is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays @ 5:00pm and is only $20 and includes all rental safety equipment when you show us your CJ Membership card.
DEMOS / TEAM INFO:
We are more than happy to bring our best instructors and volunteers to your school, event, or special occasion to perform a demo, including a talk on safety and answering any questions the attendees might have about C.J.’s and what we’re all about.
