Riding a skateboard is not limited to the physical benefits like balance, coordination, strength, and endurance. Skateboarding is a catalyst to teach the rider to function through fear, improve confidence, heighten self-esteem, and learn perseverance all disguised as a fun physical activity. Skateparks have been popping up in many communities throughout the country, and we are fortunate to have an indoor skatepark in ours.

GBASO (Green Bay Action Sports Organization) has partnered with the Girl Scouts to help make learning to skateboard more accessible to girls and young women in our community. This beginner skateboard class is a great way for girls to learn the basics of skateboarding and discover how limitless their potential is. Skilled instructors are on hand to lead the session and make the learning process as safe and fun as possible. All safety and skateboarding equipment are provided.
