Skate, Learn, and Thrive!
Go Sports NYC was founded in 2014 with a vision to bring the joy and benefits of Skate Sports (inline skating & skateboarding) to students in schools across New York City. We partner with educational institutions to offer professional coaching programs that are safe, engaging, and educational. Our core values include:
Safety: Ensuring a safe learning environment is our top priority.
Inclusivity: We welcome students of all backgrounds and skill levels.

Community: Building a supportive and connected community through skating.
At Go Sports NYC, we are committed to more than just teaching skills; we are dedicated to fostering growth, confidence, and well-being in every student. Through skateboarding, rollerblading, and our new AI music lessons, we provide an environment where kids can explore their passions while also building key life skills that go beyond physical abilities. Our mission is to help children not only excel in their sport or craft but also develop the social and emotional skills that will serve them in all areas of life.
All of our skate coaches are Skate IA Certified, ensuring the highest standards of instruction and safety for your students. With over 10 years of experience as Department of Education Vendors, we are a trusted partner for schools, offering programs that prioritize both skill development and social-emotional learning. Our long-standing relationship with schools across New York City reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, impactful programming.
Our Approach: Integrating Social and Emotional Development
Social and emotional development is at the core of everything we do. We believe that learning to ride a skateboard, glide on rollerblades, or create music isn't just about mastering a skill - it’s about personal growth. Our lessons are designed to help children develop self-awareness, empathy, and interpersonal skills that are essential both on and off the track.
Self-awareness: Whether through a solo trick on a skateboard or a creative expression in music, children learn to understand and express their emotions. Our instructors encourage students to reflect on their feelings, helping them grow in confidence and emotional awareness.
Self-regulation: In skateboarding or rollerblading, learning to manage the frustration of falling and getting back up teaches resilience. Our music lessons promote focus and discipline as students navigate challenges in learning new notes or techniques.
Interpersonal Skills: Group lessons offer opportunities for children to connect with peers, learning to communicate effectively, collaborate, and support each other’s progress.
Problem-solving: Whether mastering a new trick or figuring out AI produced beats to a song, our lessons challenge kids to think critically and creatively, giving them tools to solve problems independently.
Impulse control: Both sports and music require concentration and patience. Students learn to pause, assess situations, and make mindful decisions before acting.
Stress management: Physical activities like skateboarding and rollerblading are powerful outlets for releasing energy and managing stress, while music offers a creative way for kids to process and express emotions.
At Go Sports NYC, we are passionate about helping children develop not just as athletes or musicians, but as well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the emotional tools they need to succeed in life.
