Today’s kids are less physically active than ever, often missing out on the movement skills that set them up for long-term success. Our Foundations class bridges that gap—helping kids learn how to move well, stay injury-free, and gain confidence in sport and life.

This program builds essential physical literacy through:

• Skipping, hopping, running, jumping, and landing
• Intro to strength training (bodyweight & light resistance)
• Core stability, coordination, and balance
• Spatial awareness and control
• Injury prevention basics
• Fun, inclusive learning environment

Foundations is ideal for kids ages 9–12 who:

• Are new to sport or just starting training
• Need to build confidence in their movement
• Want to improve coordination, strength, or athletic ability
• Are preparing for more structured training in their teen years

No experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to move!

Ages: U9–U12 (Typically 9–12 years old)
