2018-19 Australian Skateboarding League

The YMCA Australian Skateboarding League is a nationwide skateboarding league that showcases some of the best amateur skateboarders throughout the country. Unlike the YMCA Skate Park Leagues that focus on participation in skate, BMX and scooter, along with aiming to break down social barriers and positively bring local communities together, the YMCA Australian Skateboarding League is a skate-only amateur series that shifts focus on providing a pathway and platform for Australian skateboarders to showcase their talent and love for skateboarding.

Although the two leagues (Skate Park Leagues and Australian Skateboarding League) are completely individual in their aims and outcomes, they do have a small link, as the top three skateboarders from each series of the Skate Park Leagues are invited to the National Final of the Australian Skateboarding League.

Along with a $17,000 prize pool spread throughout the series (equal amounts for open male and female), sponsor prizes for the 12 & Under and 16 & Under divisions, the YMCA have teamed up with The Boardr to offer skateboarders points toward their global ranking.

The 2018-19 Australian Skateboarding League is currently underway with the NT National Qualifier being held back in September 2018 and with the QLD, SA, TAS, NSW and VIC events just being dropped on Facebook and the website!
