Skate the Foundry has been amazing for my kiddo and their love of skateboarding! Brett and the team at Skate The Foundry have helped my child develop such a love of skateboarding and has built so much confidence in it over the past 6 months of lessons with Lilah! We were lucky enough to host their birthday party there this past weekend and it was SO MUCH FUN. The kiddos were all raving, and Brett, Lilah and Possum created the best vibes. Such a fun skate lesson and games and fun for the kids. Couldn't recommend this spot more highly.
Brett was great with my son. He had an awesome time and gained a ton of confidence. Couldn't be happier with this place. The complete boards were "really cool".
My son (6) took at private lesson here last week and am so happy with our experience. The owner is so kind, helpful, and professional and his team is so dedicated to their craft and teaching others the love of skateboarding. They took all the intimidation out of it, and taught my son so many useful tips in such a short period of time. This is truly a Philly gem and would definitely recommend to beginners, especially kids who just need a quality mentor!
Amazing classes. Amazing staff. Everyone is so welcoming and knowledgeable. After attending one class, I felt empowered to skate every day. Lilah was a great instructor and I look forward to being a part of this wonderful skate community! I am a newer skater and I met some really good friends who gave great tips. Kevin is a manager at the store, and he was really kind and supportive. Honestly love this place. Open Skate is pretty open on weekdays and everyone is so supportive.
Amazing spot to learn to skate for all levels! I’ve been skating since I was a kid, but never had the guts to Ollie or ride half pipes. Within my first 10 mins of a private lesson with Brett, I landed an Ollie that was 27 years in the making! One of the best feelings ever. Great for kids, but also really great for adults who want to learn or develop their abilities. Will definitely be back soon
Skateboarding Is For Everyone
Skate The Foundry is proud to provide a supportive and caring environment for welcoming new skaters into the world of skateboarding. We strive to create a place that anyone can learn and grow in. We are ready to work with a variety of skill levels and ages (as young as three years old!).
We recognize that skating is more than tricks. We see every single day how our students excitedly push not only their physical limits but their mental ones as well. Through skating, they overcome failure, build self confidence, and express themselves creatively on top of getting a good work out. Skateboarding is more than a sport, it’s an outlet to be passionate about and grow through.
We also know starting something new can be intimidating—we were all beginners at one point ourselves! In our private lessons, our kind and knowledgeable instructors will work with you one-on-one at your pace to reach your goals. We are more than teachers, we are motivators, supporters, and friends.
If you have ever wanted to try skateboarding, there is truly no better time than now and no better place than Skate The Foundry.
Beginner skaters are highly recommended to start with three private lessons before attempting to skateboard alone. When learning for the first time, It is most important to have an experienced skate instructor teach the basics in a safe and controlled space.
