Children learn at different paces – on average, most students are in the same level for a full year as there are many skills to accomplish in each level. It takes quality instruction, practice, strength, flexibility, agility, and dedication to achieve skills in any physically demanding sport. Every level should be taken seriously as all skills are built off one another, a firm foundation and understanding of basic skills before advancing is key.
Stay up to date on your athletes progress. When your child is ready to move up you will receive a call from the coach or front office to change your child’s class and your child will receive a certificate.
If your child is struggling consider having your child attend class twice a week. Its hard to build muscle and muscle memory with only attending class once a week! If coming twice a week is not feasible, talk to your child’s coach about certain conditioning drills he/she can work on at home in addition to taking your once a week class. Private lessons are also an option-inquire at the front office.
