Coaching
World Skate Coach Development
Skateboard coaching is now recognised as a critical driver of individual, team, and system-wide progression across all levels of skateboarding. As the role of the coach becomes increasingly complex and diverse, ongoing development is essential to ensure coaches can continue to evolve and meet progressive challenges.
Our Vision
Aligned with the World Skate Olympic Skateboarding Coach Development Strategy (CDS), our ambition is:
- To make skateboarding more accessible worldwide
- To safeguard Olympic skateboard coaching practice
- To provide an inclusive, internationally-recognised learning pathway
- To align coach education with global accreditation standards
Coach Education & Accreditation System (CEAS)
World Skate has established a comprehensive four‑level Coach Education and Accreditation System (CEAS) which defines clear standards for what coaches should learn through formal education programs.
Key features include:
- Four progressive accreditation levels
- Standardised global learning outcomes
- Quality-assured education and assessment
- Pathways suitable for emerging to elite-level coaches
Certified Education Provider (CEP) Accreditation
National Federations with a strong history and proven capability in coach education may apply to become Certified Education Providers (CEPs).
This process:
- Aligns national programs with CEAS standards
- Ensures rigorous quality and consistency
- Recognises trusted, high-performing coach education systems
- Supports global harmonisation of coaching practice
World Skate Coaching Database
To further strengthen professional standards and visibility, World Skate maintains a global Coaching Database, listing:
- All World Skate–certified coaches
- Recognised coaches accredited through CEP pathways
- Signatories to the World Skate Coaches Code of Conduct
The Coaches Code of Conduct outlines the expectations and responsibilities of all individuals holding a World Skate or recognised coaching accreditation, or acting as a registered coach at any World Skate event.
