These things are in no short supply at their hugely inclusive, engaging, fun and compassionate sports classes where kids of all ages can let loose and make friends whilst learning some awesome skating tricks.

This epic extreme sports centre in Leeds offers a whole host of different classes across all ages and abilities, covering every two and four-wheel device you could think of, from skateboards and rollerblades to BMX bikes and scooters.

Inside their seriously cool skatepark, where awesome graffiti art adorns the wall and their signature yellow and black colours streak through wooden ramps, you can book a two-hour skate session to let loose at your leisure or choose one of their tailored classes depending on your ability.

LS-TEN’s Monday Night Beginners Sessions are open to all ages to build their confidence on wheels through inclusive coaching and only the most positive vibes.

For kids under 8 who are a little nervous about getting started at the skatepark, LS-TEN’s Mini Riders sessions are a great way to ease them in.

Older kids will also love the Friday Night Quad and Roller Skate evenings where expert skaters are on-hand to help you master the most awesome tricks and techniques.

If you’re really committed to improving your skate skills, then LS-TEN also offers Get Active Extreme Camps for ages 6 to 14, ranging from half and full-day sessions to entire week-long sports camps.

Within LS-TEN’s vibrant venue you can also find The Lounge, a bespoke café and bar offering a safe space for visitors to enjoy coffee, breakfast, delicious snacks and a whole range of day or evening meals.

Featuring games, sofas and even more colourfully-painted walls, The Lounge is a great place to unwind or fuel up before or after your sports classes and they offer a great range of party packages, events and venue hire opportunities.

As well as their lively sports centre, LS-TEN also provides wonderful community and education programmes for children and young people who might need some extra support in the local area.

So much more than just a skatepark, this compassionate charity runs Key Stage 2 and KS3/4 provisions for children who face exclusion from mainstream schools, aiming to teach kids both academically and socially so that they can be integrated back into education.

Whether you just want to drop in and test the wheels or sign up a full programme of skating fun, LS-TEN is a great institution to get involved with to help the kids get active, meet new friends and feel completely welcomed as they learn a ton of awesome new tricks.
