The SSA Skateboarding Program is endorsed and supported by Skate Australia. The program plays a vital role in identifying, monitoring, and developing the skills of young skateboarders across the SSA catchment area. Athletes selected into the program will have the opportunity to develop their technical skills, gain competition experience, and access expert coaching and education to assist them in becoming a holistic athlete.
To be eligible for selection in the 2025 program athletes must:
Video submission
· 2 x 45-second runs showcasing variations & lines
· 3 x best trick clips
· 30-second self-introduction video covering:
o Goals
o Strengths & weaknesses
o A fun fact about yourself
A key focus of the SSA Skate Program is to provide athletes with unique opportunities and experiences they might not otherwise access. Beyond developing skating skills, the program aims to enrich each athlete’s journey by exposing them to professional coaching, sport science insights, and competitive environments. These experiences help build not only better athletes but well-rounded individuals ready to take on challenges on and off the board. Our commitment is to add genuine value by fostering growth, confidence, and connections that extend beyond the program.
