CALIFORNIA SCHOOL PROGRAMS
After School & ELO-P Skate Programs
Structured skateboard instruction that helps students build skills, confidence, and social-emotional learning in a safe, supervised environment.
A program students want to attend.
Action Park Alliance partners with school districts to deliver after-school skateboarding programs at all APA parks in California. Our ELO-P programs give students a place to stay active, learn from certified instructors, and grow both on and off the board.
Lessons take place at APA skateparks across California. We provide the instructors, equipment, curriculum, and safety structure so schools can offer a program students actually want to attend.
Why schools choose APA

Instructor-led lessons, helmets, progressive instruction, and a clear supervision structure keep each session focused.
Designed around ELO-P priorities
Students move, build skills, work with mentors, and practice positive youth-development habits in every session.
One partner for program delivery
APA coordinates staffing, equipment, waivers, lesson structure, and scheduling with the school team.
