Common Ground Skate

"Building community through skateboarding"

About Common Ground Skate

Common Ground Skate Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to increasing access to skateboarding through free grassroots programs. Our mission is to create inclusive, safe and welcoming environments where young people can learn to skate, build confidence and connect with their community.

Skateboarding is one of the fastest growing youth sports in Australia, yet many young people face barriers to participation such as cost, lack of supervision and limited beginner pathways. Common Ground Skate works to remove these barriers by delivering free programs that introduce young people to skateboarding in a structured and supportive environment.

VOICES

"A fantastic community to be part of - for the kids and parents alike. My daughter was very nervous when she started but the coaches are incredible with the kids and made her feel safe from the moment she walked in. Throughout the weeks her confidence has grown and grown, not just when it comes to skating but in all aspects of physical activity. Highly recommend to anyone considering it for their kids!!"
