BYC Skatepark

Skateboard Tuition For Adults

Four week courses, every month on Mondays from 8 – 9:30pm

Our skate courses for adults are a regular fixture here at BYC. They’re an ideal experience for complete newcomers and those at beginner level who are looking for some instruction.

Learn how to master the basics

The course is a perfect place for anyone who isn't sure where to start when it comes to picking up a board for the first time, or the first time in a while. Any equipment you need is here to use.
The course takes a flexible approach, helping people learn as much as they want, no matter their initial ability.

Each session has three skate coaches all there to help individually. If you have never skated before we can show you the ropes and get you flying around and using the ramps in no time. If you want to learn some specific things we’ll work on that too.

We’ll also spend some time learning skatepark use and etiquette, to help you gain confidence using public parks and skating with others.

There is no age limit on the courses. While they target those aged 18+, are happy to take people younger on board. Please give us an email to discuss beforehand.

Most people who join us aren’t sure what to expect, but all you need to do is take that step through the door.

Next Courses

We are currently preparing to get these courses underway again. Days and times will be confirmed soon.

Our schedule, booking, and refund policy

Further Schedule & Booking Details
  • Booking Windows: Courses begin after every school half-term break. Spaces typically open for online booking three weeks beforehand, with upcoming start and release dates always posted on this page.
  • No Waiting Lists: Places are filled strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not accept early bookings or maintain waiting lists.
  • High Demand: Courses sell out quickly. If no spaces are visible online, they are completely sold out. Because each registration must be completed individually, we cannot guarantee you will be able to book for multiple children. We strongly advise against promising lessons to children before a booking is confirmed.
  • Priority Booking: Participants from the previous course receive a one-day priority window via email to rebook. Please whitelist skatepark@brightonyouthcentre.org.uk to ensure you receive this notification.
  • Pre-Filled Spaces: Due to the priority booking system for existing members, some course spaces will already be taken before they go live to the public.
  • Holiday Courses: We occasionally run separate courses during school holidays. These are announced on this page a few weeks in advance.
Refund Policy
  • Cancellations (7+ Days Notice): A full refund will be issued if you contact us by phone or email at least 7 days before the course start date.
  • Cancellations (Less than 7 Days Notice): If you cancel with less than 7 days’ notice, a 50% refund will be issued to cover potential loss of earnings.
  • No Refunds: Requests made on or after the date of the first lesson will not be honored. All approved refunds are processed via bank transfer, and we will request your account details to arrange this.
  • Missed Lessons: BYC is not responsible for unattended sessions. We do not issue partial refunds, discounts, or complimentary future lessons for missed classes.
