Why will Juniors and Teenagers respond so well to the Programme
It is never boring. No two workouts are the same, so the novelty of each class keeps them excited about participating.
It is a community, where every junior — regardless of fitness level or athleticism is given the opportunity and the tools to find their own athletic ability within them.
How does the Programme benefit my child?
We do not focus on training children to be good in just one specialised area or sport.
Other benefits include:
- Enhanced motor skills, better movement
- Increased strength and conditioning that translates to all sports
- Goal-setting and attainment through self-discipline
- Lifelong love of physical activity and fitness
- Positive body image
- Better understanding of health, fitness and nutrition
- Reversal of health issues such as obesity
- Protection against injury
- Increase self-confidence and self-worth
- Supportive, positive community of kids and adult role models
- Improved life skills such as problem solving, perseverance, and dedication
Does my child have to be athletic or fit to participate?
Definitely not. You will find children in all shapes and sizes in our programmes, each one having a great time getting into shape and discovering their own unique athletic abilities. We are here to teach kids healthy lifestyle choices and a love for fitness, whatever level they’re at.
How do I get my child started?
The Crossfit Kids programme combines gymnastics, body weight calisthenics and weightlifting elements to develop capacity across ten general physical skills:
The elements are combined to keep members engaged and entertained, while teaching them proper movement technique and creating a broad athletic foundation.
Will my child be doing weight training, and is that safe?
Depending on the age, ability and fitness level of the children, we do incorporate weight training and lifting into our Programme
But we do so in a way that promotes the highest level of safety and effectiveness.
We place a strong emphasis on learning and perfecting the correct form. With younger children, we often do not use weights at all.
When done under the proper supervision of a professionally trained and certified coach, weight training is safe for children.
THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Children can improve strength by 30% to 50% after just 8 to 12 weeks of a well-designed strength training program. Youth need to continue to train at least 2 times per week to maintain strength.
Youth—athletes and nonathletes alike—can successfully and safely improve their strength and overall health by participating in a well-supervised program.
Exercise and sports are an important part of childhood.
The lessons learned from team and individual sports are applicable throughout life. Children who establish regular exercise habits will ideally continue them into adulthood.
A supervised strength training program that follows the recommended guidelines and precautions is safe and effective for children.
