KIDS & TEEN CLASSES:
KIDS
The Kids class is held on Tuesday at 3:40pm. It is for ages 5-12. This class will introduce kids to some of the foundation movements of CrossFit in a fun environment. They will not only learn some of the movements like squats, presses, and burpees, they will also learn a little about nutrition and other things. In this class they will use little to no weight. The weight they would use as they progress would be light medicine balls, light kettlebells or dumbbells. This is only used when the child has shown that they can do the movement properly. For ages 9-13 we will introduces kids to the correct foundation movements and will begin teaching some different lifts, starting with a PVC bar and moving up in weight slowly using light barbells, dumbbells, medballs, etc. based on how well they perform the movement.
TEENS
Our Teens class is held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 3:40pm. It is for ages 11-17. This class introduces kids to the correct foundation movements and will begin teaching some different lifts, starting with a PVC bar and moving up in weight slowly based on how well they perform the movement. We have several different levels of athlete in the teens class and we will scale their workouts accordingly to help teach them the proper movement and also prevent injury.
Our goal for kids and teens is not to create the best CrossFit athlete. We want to use CrossFit to help get (or keep) the kids/teens conditioned to help them excel at the other activities they might participate in through recreational, travel teams or school. We encourage our kids and teens to try new things and have fun!
