Sioux City hosts free skateboard clinic
The Sioux City Skateboard Association in conjunction with the Sioux City Parks and Recreation is hosting a skateboard clinic for area youth and parents to come and learn the fundamentals of skateboarding and or improve their current skill of the sport. This clinic will also act as an alliance of skaters that will essentially be the life blood of Sioux City to protect their skatepark which is Cook Street Skatepark.
The Sioux City Skateboard Association was formed to raise the bar for skateboarding in the midwest. Our efforts will grow skills and provide places to skate. Get some!
Skateboard Clinic to be held at the Longlines Family Recreational Center. (Old Auditorium- Sioux City).

Bring Respect Back to Cook Skatepark:
There was once a time when skateboarders would fight for what was their own. They would fend off unwanted behavior and allow no-one to jeopardize their space. Unfortunately the public has come to take over what was built for skateboarders and skateboarders have given up on what is rightfully theirs. This is an opportunity to join us in bringing respect back to the skatepark.
The Clinic:
The clinic will consist of 2 categories – Beginner and Intermediate. There will be instructors on hand to teach beginner and intermediate skateboarders the fundamentals and techniques to improve their current skateboarding abilities. We encourage parents to join in and offer assistance in this program if they wish. We hope to make this a successful clinic and look forward to more clinics to offer a safe place for the youth of Siouxland to expand their skills during the winter months.
