Run by our core team of coaches, and developed by BKSA endorsed national coach and ex-professional athlete - Chris Burke, our advanced sessions are available nationwide on a 1:1 basis. Following a bite size syllabus honed to each individual, coaching is available hourly or in dedicated clinics. These are carefully designed to break down hurdles and guarantee progression.

With over 14 years of experience between them, our team knows first hand how a clear and practical lesson plan makes a significant difference to the rate, fun and safety of developing advanced kiting techniques. With specialised skill sets, depending on what it is you want to master, we’ll put you with the coach with the most experience in that class, so you’ll be in the right hands.

“Seeing yourself perform every part of the move is the key to landing it. Visualisation is everything”
