I have been getting questions about CF Kids from quite a few of you. I am still going through all of the formalities with CrossFit HQ and CrossFit Kids to make sure our gym is 100% compliant. As soon as this happens we can begin the program. The small amount of information that I have for you is this. CrossFit Kids will be available to children between the ages of 6-13. As the program grows we will be splitting these age groups into 6-9 and 10-13. It will be a 3x per week program, probably T/TH/ Sa The class will be coached by CrossFit level 1 Coaches who also have their CrossFit Kids Certification. (This is a special 2 day course that these coaches went through). The 3 coaches that will be on staff have been in the school district for a very long time and have countless hours of experience with children! All CrossFit Kids coaches are required to perform a background check to ensure the safety of your kids! The cost for this program will be 75$ per month. If enrolling 2 children it will be 65$ per child per month If enrolling 3 children it will be 50$per child per month. You may enroll more than 3 children but the discounts stop at 50$ per child per month. It is VERY important to us that your children are treated with the Love and attention that they deserve. That is why we will be following these protocols...... Mission: Doing what is best for children Overview: CrossFit Kids was founded in 2004 by Jeff and Mikki Martin and is a method for teaching Greg Glassman’s CrossFit to children, ages 3-18. Based on the principle of Mechanics => Consistency => Intensity, CrossFit Kids emphasizes good movement throughout childhood and adolescence. Consistently good mechanics translates to physical literacy, enhanced sports performance, and fewer sports injuries for kids. Not only that, a vast body of research indicates that exercise is beneficial to cognitive function, which means that consistent adherence to the program can have a positive impact on children’s academic achievement. CrossFit Kids is meant to be BIG fun for all ages. Broad-Inclusive-General fun. Fun means we provide an active alternative to sedentary pursuits, which means less childhood obesity and all-around better health for our children. Further, the needs of second graders and high school varsity wrestlers differ by degree and not kind; the program is scalable for any age or experience level and accounts for the varied maturation status one can find in a class full of kids. CrossFit Kids is designed to be minimalist; it is inexpensive and often requires little or no equipment, allowing a wide array of socioeconomic groups an opportunity to be physically fit and physically active throughout their lives. CrossFit Kids programs can be found in over 1,800 gyms and more than 1,000 schools worldwide. To find out more information about CrossFit Kids, please go to crossfitkids/. We are super stoked to get this thing going! We feel that there is not anything like this in our community for our children and we cant wait to help make the same positive impact CrossFit has had in your lives, in your childrens lives. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in this program, please share this post and comment below. Questions, comments and concerns are all welcome! Thanks so much! -Brennen
