CrossFit Kids Class is back in session with Coach Steph Wright! 🙌
Each month, we’ll share what we’re working on. Parents, you’ll know what your child is learning and WHY it’s on our agenda.
September’s focus is to MOVE WELL! Our goal is to help the kiddos learn how to move safely and confidently during class. 💪
Before we start building strength, speed or endurance, we’ll dive deep into foundational movements that include:
✅ Squatting
✅ Hinging and safely picking objects up from the ground
✅ Bracing and body control
✅ Running mechanics
✅ Jumping and landing safely
We’ll practice these skills through workouts, drills, challenges and games that are appropriate for ages 7 to 12. 😊
Right now, the intention isn’t perfection or lifting heavy. It’s to build a foundation! We’ll teach the kids how their bodies move, how to safely perform basic movements and how to feel confident trying new things.
