There are regular sports like football and tennis etc, but if you really want to do something fun, then go skating! Skating doesn't come easy however.  You will need to practice a lot!  Fortunately it isn't rocket science, because we figured out how we can help you with the process. Practice makes perfect and skating a lot will make you go from a bambi to a superman! There are some critical things though that I often see untrained people doing wrong. 

With a Thisissoul Academy subscription we will help you to learn skating the right way, from step 0 to 1000. We always start off with the basics, so it doesn't matter if you have never skated before or if you are already as good as Pascal Tan.

There is always a trick on your horizon that we can help you with. You will learn to fall, and to get up again, Look at your surroundings in a totally different way and also to get the best out or yourself. There are three lesson seasons: spring, summer and fall. In the winter we have to take a little break because of the Dutch weather. 

After each season we host an event on the Olympiaplein skatepark where I and my colleges judge the students to see if they are worthy of our certificate. There are three different certificate levels each having different goals for you to achieve. You will learn tricks like jumping, dropping in the quarter pipe, riding backwards and grinding.

If you somehow do not have the time to attend our weekly lessons, or you are the type of person that wants to train with us even more! Then you can also join our skatekamp, our roadtrips or book us for your birthday party! You can start attending all our lessons from the age of seven. It is possible to rent skates, but if you are serious about learning, we highly recommend you to get a pair of your own.

Our goal is to offer weekly lessons everywhere in the country. All current locations are listed on our website. But, if your favorite skatepark is not mentioned there yet, just get a group of friends together and write us an e-mail.

To register you can simply browse our list of locations and pay online. All the info you need should be right there.

If you have any questions, then do not hesitate to send me a PM, DM, Whatsapp message or an e-mail.

So let's boost those skills!

See you at the skatepark!
