CrossFit Kids

What is CrossFit Kids

CrossFit Kids is a method for teaching Greg Glassman’s CrossFit to children ages 3-18. Based on the principle of Mechanics, Consistency and then 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 consistent adherence to the program can have a positive impact on children’s academic achievement.

CrossFit Kids – CrossFit Waco

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 Trainers

CrossFit Kids Trainers focus on reinforcing sound mechanics, educating proper behaviours, providing opportunities for success and long-term adherence. Safety during any physical activity is of utmost importance considering the adolescent skeleton is actively growing. The CrossFit Kids program strives to prevent injuries due to accidents by actively honing skills such as accepting personal responsibility, working safely with others, following rules, and exhibiting etiquette…While children and adolescents within the CrossFit Kids program may lift, move, and play with various objects during the course of a class, when they perform the movements from the foundational series (squats, presses, and deadlifts) the mechanics of and consistency with the movement informs the load – Courtesy of CrossFit Inc.

CrossFit Kids CrossFit Hayle Programme

The CrossFit Hayle Kid’s Programme started in September 2018 and is teaching children and adolescents how fun fitness can be and creating a firm foundation of functional movement. There are 3 different classes within the program which are generalised by age;

Preschoolers (3-5 years old)

Kids (6-12 years old)

Teens (13-17 years old)

*Although these classes are set out by age, it is NOT the age of your child that is the deciding factor for what class your child will attend. It is largely based on individual skill, athleticism, and maturity and is ultimately decided by the head coach to ensure your child is getting the most out of the CrossFit experience.*
