Hounds SKATEBOARD ACADEMY
Years in the making, we have gathered knowledge from over 100 skateboard coaches, global football academies, NRL coaches & more to develop the highest standards of coaching in skateboarding.
The Program is proudly sanctioned by the Australian Skateboarding Federation, who have the largest network of skateboard coaches nationally.
The WHY?
Most Skateboard coaches live and breathe skateboarding. At the same time, we’re an insular community and we believe that we can create better skateboard coaches by learning from others. The academy not only provides a high standard of coaching for its participants, but platform to improve and develop better coaches for future participants.
The WHO?
We don’t just use the closest coach to the location, any coach used in the program has to have an additional speciality whether it be special needs, sports science, psychology, youth work or any other transferrable skills. You can see the Head coach below and keep an eye out for new coaches as we roll into different locations.
