All sessions are currently fully booked and have a waiting list. 

If you would like to be added to the list please leave the following details: 

• Child's name and age
• Your contact details
• A little bit about your child (e.g. prior experience, any additional needs and availiability). This helps us fit your child into the most appropriate sessions.

We will be in touch as soon as we have a space for your child. Please let us know if they no longer wish to attend. 

In the meantime, please encourage your child to participate in any exercise they can. If you have access to a trampoline, these can be a great asset to improving air awareness for tricking. 

We cater for students of all ability, and teach from the ground up. 

All sessions are paid for via a monthly direct debit. Please see our Memberships page for more details. 

First taster sessions are £5 and this can be paid for in cash on the day.

Your monthly direct debit acts as a subscription, reserving your child's spot in a specific class each week. 

If you miss a session, please let us know and we'll do our best to fit your child into another class  that week, subject to availability. 

All classes are non re-fundable.

We do not have a specific area for parents to watch as space in our building is limited. 

Having restricted spectators during covid, we've found the students to be much more relaxed and open to having fun, so have decided to keep the policy in place indefinitely. 

However, if you would like to watch a session or two, please have a chat with one of the coaches in advance and we'll do our best to facilitate that. 

We have competition level classes for students that meet the minimum skill level to attend. 

Our students have the opportunity to compete as a team, both nationally and internationally. 

Our sessions run year round, including school and bank holidays. 

We will be closed for Christmas, usually for one week depending on the day it falls on. And for two weeks during the summer holidays. Dates will be confirmed nearer to the time. 

Any other closures will be communicated ,with as much notice as possible. 

We try and video as much as we can during sessions and update our social media with the footage. You are also very welcome to have a chat with one of the coaches at the end of beginning of class, and we are happy to arrange for you to watch a class. 

We also have our own competitions regularly, where spectators are welcome. 

The the best and most healthy driver of performance is passion, enthusiasm and love for the sport. 

Choosing language carefully around your child is important.  For instance "I love watching you trick" puts emphasis on fun, community, participation. "How well did you trick" puts emphasis on performance. Simple changes in language will limit the external pressure placed on the athlete to perform. Ultimately for an athlete to be successful and well-rounded, the desire to achieve must come from within. 

Studies have proven kids generally want to have fun, enjoy time with their friends, improve their skills and win. Parents who put too much emphasis on different goals like “getting a scholarship” or “becoming a professional” probably need to adjust their goals.

As the athlete progresses,  goals and targets can always be adjusted but please try to always be postive and encourage your child, in regards to their classes and performance. 

Unfortunately,  around 50% of girls and up to 20% of boys drop out of sport altogether by the age of 13. We are working very hard to try and change that and need your support. Sport has a plethora of well documented benefits, short and long term. 

Avoid basing your child’s sense of self-worth on how they do at tricking or any sport. Your child regularly attempts and performs acrobatic maneuvers that less than 0.005% of the world’s population ever attempts. Just training in the sport of tricking separates them from almost everyone else. 

However, there is nothing  wrong with speeding up their progression. Please message us if your child really enjoys class and would like to attend more, we will assess whether this is suitable on an individual basis. 

A general thumb rule to go by is; once a week for beginners, twice a week for intermediate, and 3 or more weekly sessions for advanced trickers or those that would like to progress at a faster rate.

WightTricks Academy is closed for up to 4 weeks a year, dates will be confirmed via email and social media platforms as and when. During this time, classes may be carried over to another week, please book another day in advance and we will do our best to accomodate you where possible. Unfortunately we cannot offer refunds in this instance.
