Kids Snowboard Academy
There’s definitely a cool vibe around snowboarding and if your kids couldn’t stop talking about 1080’s, Tomahawks and boarder cross after the Winter Olympics then snowboarding is definitely the sport for them.
Chill Factore offers an uber cool Junior Snowboard Academy for children aged 8-12 years, which provides snowboarding tuition with friendly and experienced instructors.
Our Snowboard Academy runs at the weekends, these are available to all children - from complete beginners through to Shaun White wannabes at championship level.
It’s a great way for kids to learn new and exciting skills, which they can put to practice on family holidays in the mountains, or even build upon to compete professionally in the future. Either way our academy is a great way to learn and have fun, and a great idea to keep the kids entertained over school holidays and half term.
Our aim is to make snowboarding fun, accessible to all children and to develop young talent where possible.
Children will learn in Levels (1-6), and will be split into groups, based on their ability.
The most cost effective way to progress through our levels structure is by purchasing a course, which lasts for three weeks. However, if your child leads an action packed life and needs more flexibility you can purchase levels individually. Once each level is successfully completed kids can continue onto the next level and before you know it you’re cheering them on at the Olympics! Well you could be...
Children attending the Snowboard Academy will receive a progress card at the end of each course so can see how far they’ve come. Once each level is completed each child will be presented with a lovely certificate to mark their achievement.
