Parkour Homeschoolers Class

Parkour teaches participants to efficiently overcome obstacles in their environment and to seek out artistic and expressive ways to interact with obstacles while moving through an environment.

Participants will combine movements such as vaulting, rolling, climbing and leaping with expressive movements like flips, saults, spins and twists. Participants will improve their strength, agility, balance and coordination as they learn to traverse their environments and overcome physical and psychological barriers.

This special class for Homeschoolers has been designed to include all age groups together and gives the older kids more time and space to develop their skills.

MONDAYS

Parkour 5-8 yrs: 1.15 – 2.15pm

Parkour 8+ yrs: 1.15 – 2.45pm

The older class will run an extra 30 mins longer than the younger class. Families can hang out in the foyer or outside in the sunshine. Feel free to decide what your 8 yr old would be up for.

Term based enrolment (10 weeks). There is a 10% discount for the second or more siblings.
