Introduction

Skate Australia is the National Sporting Organisation (NSO) recognized by the Federal Governments, Australian Sports Commission (ASC) as the peak body administering the growth and development of six individual sports with Australia.

History
About Street Active
1800 Reverse Street Active was the first initiative of the Australian Sports Commission’s Active Australia Project. Targeted at children 6-14 years of age, the project successfully offered in excess of 10,000 people the opportunity to experience skateboarding, inline skating or freestyle BMX in a structured and safe environment under the supervision of Australia’s first accredited coaches in these three sports. Traveling to 27 events in three years over more than 130 event days, the project offered both the opportunity to experience the sport for the first time, or polish up on existing skills.
