1-4 RIDERS
£34+ Coaching & Guiding only
Progression and the stoke doesn't need to stop when the winter holiday ends. Snowboarding is sadly a perishable skill. Board feel and body conditioning drop's off the longer you leave the board bag zipped up.
This is where we can help through a series of small group or tailored private coaching sessions running throughout the year. That way when the winter rolls around you'll have a fresh set of skills and tricks to help you feel great or your board and avoid that painful three day warm-up when you're back in the mountains.
The primary coaching location is Hemel Snow Centre. You have four main options:
Freestyle Group Sessions - From £34 per person - Dates TBC
For groups of 1-4 riders. Taking place on Thursday night and occasional Friday night park sessions at Hemel Snow Centre.
Private Sessions from £35 - £79 per person
For individuals or groups of 1p to 4 riders. These sessions are focused around your goals and booked around your availability. These can piste based riding performance to flatland freestyle buttering, or getting into the snow park for more feature based tricks.
Mogul Academy - £34 per person - Dates TBC
For riders looking to improve their overall board control that feeds directly info better tree runs or off piste skills then moguls are the perfect training ground. The Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead runs two or three moguls sessions each summer that we'll bolt onto.
Groundtricks Academy - £34 per person - Dates TBC
As riders broaden their horizons and continue riding all-year round then they're draw towards more piste based freestyle that lends itself to indoor shredding. These regular sessions are geared towards groups of 1-4 riders looking to gradually build their freestyle board control skills over a whole summer of progression.
Prices exclude lift pass. These courses are open to all riders at recreational standard, i.e. be able to control speed, confidently link turns & use a poma/button lift/chairlift. We ask that children under the age of 18 years be accompanied by an adult, to enable supervision at all times.
"I can highly recommend Maverix coaching. Just do it. You won’t regret it. Your riding will be better, your progression goals will be realised, you’ll have a lot of fun along the way, meet some awesome people and become part of a rad riding crew.
For the group sessions J always tries to match up skill-levels and does his best on each session to work with all. They are great for the camaraderie and bants. But every now and again it’s well worth a private session if you want that dedicated 1:1 to really focus on something and get it on full lock. I’d advise going for the best of both worlds if you can. And of course, do get on one of the trips for an awesome adventure and shred."
"First off I'm very picky with who I book as a coach. I am a qualified instructor myself and some will argue why do I need a coach. It's impossible to be good at everything and freestyle is an area I wanted to improve. The level of 'technical' chat was adjusted to individual needs and it was backed up with video feedback which I personally found very useful. I came away from the session with tools to help me in my own practice and added confidence in my own ability.
Outside of the session he is always happy to offer further feedback or answer any questions you may have. If you want to improve your riding or enter the world of freestyle then I highly recommend you drop Maverix a line and book a session.."
"My two sons, aged 9 and 16, had snowboarding lessons with James in Hemel Hempstead, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. James made the lessons a lot of fun, which kept both of my boys engaged and excited to learn more. He tailored each session to match their individual skill levels, adapting his approach as they progressed. They both picked up some impressive new tricks, and I could really see their confidence growing with each lesson.
James used a variety of teaching techniques, which was perfect for helping the boys tackle any challenges they faced along the way. It’s clear he knows how to work with kids of different ages and abilities, making sure they both felt supported and motivated. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for a skilled and engaging snowboarding coach."
