For parents

Properly constituted and run Community Amateur Sports Club (non profit making)

Promoting urban sports participation; respecting others, building esteem and having fun

The exploitation of ‘urban terrain’ on non-motorised wheels

Skateboards, BMX bikes, Rollerblades, Scooters…

Coaching, fund raising, facilities, exercise, competitions, strong culture…

All ages, all abilities, disabled too – challenged, motivated, controlled and safe…

Gravity is green and free - skateboarding will be in the 2012 Olympics

We support Club Members in the exploitation of 'Urban Terrain' whilst demonstrating respect and consideration for others and building self esteem

We are raising £250,000+ to build an Olympic standard facility for budding boarders, bikers, bladers, scooter etc in the Andover area

We want Andover to be represented by local individuals at the 2012 Olympics

Our goal is a well designed concrete skate-park facility with properly run competitions and coaching aligned to the Olympic sports
