SIT 'N' SKATE offers free skate courses for children and young people in wheelchairs. They learn the skills needed to skate independently and safely in a wheelchair during the courses - whether in everyday life or in the skate park.
With your support, we can regularly offer free skating courses for children and young people in wheelchairs to pave their way to an active and self-determined life. Through our training, they learn to control their wheelchairs more easily, which significantly increases their range of mobility.
Our SIT 'N' SKATE trainings teach specific skills that children and young people need to be able to move independently in the skate park. This is a playful way for them to improve their wheelchair control. Along the way, they learn how to deal with edges, slopes and curves. This experience makes them fit for everyday life. At the same time, the children and young people learn that even "professionals" have to practice and that not everything works straight away. The trainers, wheelchair users themselves, immediately identify if support is needed and provide targeted assistance. In addition to the training sessions, we have regular meetings for the local wheelchair skating community. These meetings are very important, especially for the parents, as an opportunity for self-help and interaction.
