The Skate Instructors Association's (SKATE IA) mission is to bring all skate instructors together in one community, to provide business resources, and to have an immediate impact on the growth of the skate industry. Skate IA strives to improve over-all health and well-being by offering support and resources to those professionals who are passionate about the sports of inline skating, roller skating and skateboarding.

Skate IA is a membership organization for skate instructors that provides education for the sports of inline skating, roller skating and skateboarding. Our vision is to create a support system for the expansion of education and business. The foundation of the USSG/Skate IA was created out of a need for a community where instructors could come together to share ideas, to learn, and to grow.

No matter how large or small your program may be, the Skate IA community joins to share in your growth both as business professionals and instructors. The majority of our members run their own small independant business or small schools. Skate IA aims to create a standard of professionalism and recognition Most of all, Skate IA is a place to create and nurture friendships and professional relationships within our wheeled-sports industries.
