Maybe your child has been asking for a skateboard, but you have no idea where to begin. Maybe team sports haven’t been their thing, and you’re looking for another way to get them moving. Or maybe you’re hoping to turn some of that screen time into time spent learning something new.
For Westchester families, skateboard instructor Leon Toppin offers a place to start.
 | With 33 years of skating experience and 20 years of teaching, Leon works with children as young as 3, teens, adults, and families throughout Westchester County and New York City. He welcomes all skill levels, from first-time riders to skaters ready to build on what they already know. |
A New Way to Get Moving
One of the appealing things about skateboarding is that kids can work toward their own goals. They have a skill to practice and a reason to get outside, without needing to join a team.
For a child who’s curious about skating, lessons offer a chance to explore that interest with an experienced instructor. And parents don’t need to be skaters themselves to help their child get started.
Leon teaches both outdoors and indoors, depending on the season and what works for the family. His 5.0-star rating across 18 Google reviews offers another point of reassurance for parents choosing an instructor.
Choose the Lesson That Fits Your Family
Whether you’re booking for one enthusiastic beginner, a pair of friends, or a parent-child outing, Leon offers several options:
- Private lessons: $120 per session
Individual instruction for skaters at any skill level. - 3-Lesson Starter Pack: $300
Three lessons at $100 each, giving a new skater time to get started and keep practicing. - Group lessons: $80 per person, with a minimum of two people
An option for friends who want to learn together. - Family lessons: $180 for two people
Make it shared time on the boards. Adults are welcome to learn, too!
