Coach Mia Torres

Coach Darius Webb
"Darius landed his first kickflip at 11. He hasn't stopped since."
Coach Priya Nair
Ramp specialist, two-time state amateur champion, and the calmest voice at the top of any drop.
Raccoon's Safety Tip
Full pads, every session. Helmet, knee pads, elbow pads — non-negotiable. We provide loaner gear so nobody misses a session because they forgot their knee pads at home.
Step 4 · A Typical Camp Day
8:30 AM to 3 PM of Pure Progress
No sitting around. No waiting your turn for 40 minutes. Every hour has a purpose — and a lot of laughing.
Arrival & Gear Check
Kids roll in, coaches fit helmets, and everyone warms up with the morning skate-stretch routine.
Skill Block 1
Coach-led technique drills in your skill group. Little Pushers on the smooth flat, Street Starters on ledges, Ramp Riders on the quarter pipe.
Free Skate + Water Break
Unstructured time to practice, mess around, make friends. The best tricks happen here.
Raccoon's Trick Tip
Daily illustrated breakdown of one technique — from foot placement to follow-through. Kids take home a sticker when they nail it.
Lunch & Hang
Shaded picnic area, bring your own lunch. Coaches eat with the kids. Stories from the morning get told and retold.
Skill Block 2 + Video Review
Coaches film each kid attempting their target trick. Group review, then back to the ramp. Watching yourself skate is the fastest way to improve.
Friday Jam Session
End-of-week mini contest. No scores, just cheers. Every kid lands something and gets a sticker to prove it.
Pick-Up & Progress Report
Parents get a daily voice note from the coach — what their kid nailed, what to practice at home, what to look forward to tomorrow.

"My son Jake has tried three different summer programs. Kickflip is the only one where he cried when it ended — because he didn't want to leave his coach."
Rachel Okonkwo
Mom of Jake, 9 · Naperville, IL
"I skated in the '90s and I wanted my daughter to feel that same thing — the freedom, the crew, the first trick that clicks. Coach Priya gave her exactly that."
Marcus Chen
Dad of Lily, 11 · Oak Park, IL
"As a school counselor I recommend Kickflip to parents looking for screen-free, confidence-building summer options. The skill-group system means no child is ever out of their depth."
Diane Kowalski
School Counselor · Evanston, IL
"Mia remembered Sofia's name on day one and texted me a video of her first successful push-and-roll by 10 AM. That's the kind of coach you want for a nervous seven-year-old."
Preethi Rajan
Mom of Sofia, 7 · Schaumburg, IL
