SSYC

Seattle Skateboarding Youth Club

The purpose of “Seattle Skateboarding Youth Club” is to provide a season of scheduled skateboarding events for the younger generation of skateboarders in the Seattle area.   While the 3 month program will emphasize on practicing, competing and progressing, the ultimate goal is to provide an opportunity for kids of all ages and abilities to be involved in a  structured “club” or experience the feeling of being part of a skateboard “team”.

The league will be broken down by age group, not skill but there will be awards for every skater.  Open practices will be held on the first 3 Wednesdays of every month (Tuesdays at Skatebarn) at different indoor skateparks beginning in January.  There will be a competition at each of the parks on the fourth week of every month.  All competitors will be rewarded points and there will be prizes for the top 5 finishers at each contest.  I (Marshall Reid) and at least one qualified SSYC Instructor will be on site during practices to offer tips and encouragement to all of the kids. We will run the contests as well as provide an awards ceremony/barbecue skate jam at the end of the season.
