For your convenience, we offer classes on different days from various locations, so you can choose the one that works best for you and your child. Does my child need to be at a specific fitness or skill level to participate? The Junior Squads are set up to suit varying levels of commitment and ability. To make the training challenging without demotivating the child, we will place him or her in a class based on his or her ability. Our coaching team will vary the levels based on the commitment and ability of your child. Thus, your child will be placed in a class based on his/her age group first, followed by ability and commitment. We offer classes for the following age groups: Ages 5–9 Ages 10–16 Please note, if we don’t have enough children for an age group, we will allocate your child to the most suitable age group for his/her level of commitment and ability.

How many children do you allow for each class?

As stated above, we limit each class to 12 kids, or fewer, to provide all kids with the attention they need. I have a Scoopon voucher, how do I register it?
