There are skateboarding schools everywhere, with lessons given by state-certified instructors. Most offer individual or group lessons for all ages and skill levels! Beyond teaching how to skate, skateboarding schools also help spread the principles that are unique to skate culture and its codes. The instructors teach their students how to be independent in a skatepark in order to practice safely and with respect for others. They also organize outings and events and help the local skate scene grow and thrive.
We work closely with over fifteen skateboarding schools in France and abroad. We provide skateboards and protective gear to the schools, which allows them to have quality equipment for lessons and introductory courses.

"Thanks to our partnership with Decathlon Skateboarding, we’re able to give our students high quality, appropriate skateboards and protective gear. It also lets them test out equipment before parents decide whether to buy it. As there has been a lot of effort put into maintaining quality while keeping costs low, parents don't have to break the bank, and students can buy their first
genuine skateboard! The DS team is always open to our feedback and requests for logistical support. A huge thank you to them!"

Decathlon Skateboarding products have been developed to meet the needs of skaters in terms of both technical quality and cost. Many of our members use their high-quality and continuously improving boards, trucks, wheels, and, of course, shoes. The DS partnership with our skateboarding school allows new skaters and primary school students to skate with proper boards and good protective gear. Their commitment to us is essential to providing easy access to fun-to-ride equipment. The team of coaches is also consulted to bring its expertise on new products, which is very appreciated. Thank you again for the support, our regular discussions between passionate skaters, and your input on product-related technical matters."
