LVLUP-USA SK8 Coaching-Only Program
The LVLUP SK8 Coaching-Only Program provides aspiring skateboarders with the unique opportunity to train alongside our Full-Time Academy athletes each weekday from 12:30 - 3:30pm Monday to Friday, during the California academic school year, for either 5 half days or 3 half days.
This flexible option is ideal for families who want their child to benefit from our world-class coaching, facilities, and culture without having to change schools or compromise their current education pathway. Athletes remain enrolled in their existing schooling program and arrive at LVLUP at 12:30pm to participate in our high-performance training and development program.
This program is designed to support individuals who are serious about their skateboarding journey and are driven to pursue excellence whether that means progressing competitively or building a professional career.
Program Overview
● Training Schedule: Monday to Friday, 12:30– 3:30pm
● Eligibility: Open to all ages, based on commitment, attitude, and readiness to train in a structured environment
● Entry Requirements:
Positive attitude and passion for skateboarding or scootering
Willingness to listen, take feedback, and work within assigned coaching groups
Ability to participate independently without parent supervision onsite
Athletes must be open to rotating between coaches and training groups, as placements are based on individual progression needs rather than personal preference. LVLUP fosters an environment where resilience, adaptability, and team spirit are at the core of personal and athletic development.
Character and Skill Development:
Beyond skateboarding, the program focuses on building essential life attributes such as:
● Loyalty

Athletes will also develop their physical capabilities, including coordination, muscular strength, agility, and overall athletic performance, all within a professionally supervised, high-performance environment.

Program Value & Cost Breakdown:
The annual cost to attend LVLUP's Coaching-Only Program is either $12,500 (3 half days a wk) or $16,000 (5 half days a wk) per year, representing a highly competitive and comprehensive training solution for young athletes. (refer to application form for further details)
To provide context and transparency, consider the typical cost of assembling a similar support system independently:
Private Skate Coaching: At an average of $30+ per hour, daily coaching alone can exceed $15,000+ per year if they were doing 15 per wk
Gym Membership: Annual youth performance gym memberships can range from $1,000 – $1,500
Recovery Access: Facilities offering hot/cold therapy, infrared sauna, compression & recovery services often charge $1,200 – $2,000+ annually
Physiotherapy & Sports Treatment: Regular sessions throughout the year may cost $2,000 – $3,000 or more
Skatepark Memberships: Year-round access to quality skate facilities typically adds another $1,000+ per year
When combined, these separate services can total over $20,000 per year, and may still lack the cohesive structure, elite coaching, and culture of excellence that LVLUP offers under one roof.
With LVLUP’s Coaching-Only Program, families receive a fully integrated, professional training environment, including skate coaching, gym access, recovery services, and facility membership at a significantly more accessible rate.
This program is not just a financial investment, but a holistic commitment to your child's athletic development, personal growth, and long-term success.
Additional Skatepark Access
As part of their enrolment in this program, all LVLUP Academy athletes will have complimentary access to the skatepark during designated open sessions outside of scheduled training hours. This provides additional time for practice, progression, and community engagement in a supervised environment.

Saturday: 1:00pm – 9:00/10:00pm
