Common Questions
This is for anyone who wants to become a USSEA member, support a young skater, or learn to ride themself. This includes parents who need guidance on teaching their child, anyone curious about becoming an instructor or coach, and adults who always wanted to skate. No experience needed.
Skate Safe, How to Teach Skateboarding 1 and 2, and access to our Learn to Skate video series. You complete everything online at your own pace, and you get member discounts on USSEA resources.
It’s $50 for the first year, then $25 each year after that. It renews automatically, so you keep your access to courses and discounts without re-enrolling.
No. Basic has no required background check, training fees, or certifications. If you volunteer with a program that asks for a background check, you can add one, but USSEA does not require it at this level.
It’s a membership, not a certification. It gives you the foundation and the shared language we use, which is exactly right for parents and volunteers. If you want to teach lessons or coach competitive athletes, look at Instructor Certification or Competitive Coach Certification.
