In this video Jason is going to teach you how to have fun and introduce your kids to snowboarding. There are lots of different ways to build an indoor snowboard park using simple household items but there’s really only one rule: have fun! Start with small simple features and work your way up in size and complexity, focusing on skills that match the ability of the kids using them.

Keep in mind safety factors:

Young children should always be supervised while being pulled on a snowboard or when playing with snowboard gear.
Always play under control.
Make sure to use sturdy items for your indoor park.
Pad table corners and other sharp features that could be hazardous.

Level 1: The Intro Obstacle Course
There is plenty of room for variety and creativity as you build your course, but a great option is to let your kids jump in and help out. A great Level 1 approach is a simple obstacle course: grab anything that can act as an obstacle (chairs, cushions, toys, pets, grandpa) and arrange them haphazardly. Then, pull your kid through the course using the Riglet Reel.

Skills to build: Balance

Level 2: The Level-Up Course
Once they’re ready to progress, make the course more challenging. Add in extra obstacles and secondary objectives: have them catch a ball or shoot a ball into a laundry basket while holding their snowboard stance. Another fun option is to use two stools and a broom to create a limbo scenario that requires them to duck and lean while being pulled on the board.

Skills to build: Balance, Stance, Flexion and Extension (lowering the center of gravity by crouching and increasing the center of gravity by standing tall)

Level 3: The Ultimate Course
Looking for more difficulty? Combine the activities and obstacles from Level 1 and Level 2 with even more objectives. A few additional ideas include leaning a hula hoop between two chairs to create a tunnel and building a small teeter-totter with a foam roller and a piece of wood. For an added challenge, have kids practice holding a grab through the whole course or set up a spin goal to practice 180s and 360s.

Indoor Snowboarding Games for Kids
Indoor snowboarding practice can help kids build skills like balance and confidence that translate well to on-hill riding. Additionally, this practice is a great way to keep kids excited about snowboarding in the off-season (or when you can't get to the mountain). Plus, parents can structure the practice as a game to provide hours of entertainment and family bonding time.

So, grab your Riglet board, toss together some household items (a cut-up pool noodle, two yoga blocks, two pillows, or anything else you have two of), and place the board on top, with one item under the nose and one item under the tail of the board. Once it’s balanced, practice some of the games outlined below and watch them progress!


Foot to Foot Game
In this game, kids practice shifting weight from the left foot to the right foot while maintaining balance. This is a technique that is included in most basic snowboard lessons on the mountain but can be easily developed at home indoors. A similar move to practice is called Toe to Heel, where the goal is to shift weight from the toe edge of the board to the heel edge of the board.

Flexion and Extension Game
In this game, kids practice getting low (flexion) on the board and then getting tall (extension) on the board. This maneuver is important in understanding how balance and center of gravity play a role in snowboarding and can help strengthen critical muscle memory. Play around and pretend they're trying win a game of limbo.

Rotation Game
One of the most fun moves for kids (and adults) is to practice rotating their body left and right. Once they've mastered that, you can even encourage them to add a jump and attempt a 180 spin. Too easy? Try a 360!

Grabbing Game
Explain some common snowboard grab tricks and ask your child to select their favorite. Then, have them practice their favorite grabs while balancing on the board. Some ideas for easy-to-learn grabs include:
Tail grab
Nose grab
Indy grab
