The countdown is on! Registrations are officially open for the 2026 World Rookie Skateboard Finals, taking place from September 25th to 27th at Celje Skatepark, Slovenia.
The best young skateboarders from around the world are getting ready to meet in Celje for the final showdown of the season, where the 2026 World Rookie Skateboard Champions will be crowned in Street and Bowl.
Once again, the Finals will be part of the World Cup Skateboarding circuit, giving all participants the chance to collect valuable WCS ranking points. On top of the titles, riders will compete for prizes from World Rookie Tour partners and wildcards to top international events, including the Mystic Sk8 Cup and other World Cup Skateboarding events.
The Street Finals will also be broadcast LIVE, bringing the action from Slovenia to the global skate community.
Who Can Join?
The Finals are open to Rookies born between 2007 and 2010 and Groms born in 2011 or later.
Riders can qualify through the World Rookie Rank, with the Top 10 Rookie Girls, Top 10 Rookie Boys and Top 10 Grom Boys qualified by the September 22nd deadline, through national quotas, results from previous international WRT stops or dedicated wildcards.
How to Register:
There are now two ways to sign up for the World Rookie Skateboard Finals, and both of them count as a valid pre-registration.
1. Online, in two minutes. Fill in the registration form in the registration section of worldrookietour.com. This is the fastest option: you complete everything from your phone, you get an instant confirmation by email, and there is nothing to print. Riders under 18 will be asked for their parent or legal guardian’s contact details.
2. By accreditation form. Download the official accreditation form, fill it in, sign the disclaimers and email it to iztok@wcsk8.com. This is the way to go for coaches and team managers who are registering several riders at once.
Riders who already won an all-inclusive ticket can use either option, and must specify the number of people joining them for accommodation.
Pre-registration closes on September 22nd. All skaters, including those who pre-registered, have to finalize their registration at the Riders Office in the skatepark: Friday September 25th from 16:00 to 20:00, or Saturday September 26th from 09:00 to 12:30.
Entry Packages:
The Skater Package costs €60 and includes the contest entry fee, two meals on site and a goodie bag. A Coach/Parent Package is available for €30 and includes the same two meals.
Payments on site are cash only, in euros. Riders travelling from outside Europe who cannot pay in cash should email iztok@wcsk8.com in advance to receive the bank details for a wire transfer.
