Accountability
We strive to push your child and keep them moving. We train from one drill to the next with short water breaks in-between. Safety is the most important part our program. Any child who chooses to hit, bully or say inappropriate things will be asked to sit out.
If He/She does it again they will be asked to to leave. This is not a day care or babysitting program. We are here to coach, inspire and get children and parents motivated. If you see your child doing something they should not, I strongly suggest to help them to stop. Children's safety and feeling comfortable around other children is top priority. This is not a program where your child will have multiple chances on multiple days to correct their behavior. They will quickly be asked to sit out. If they choose not to listen you will be told to take them home.
Priorities
Your Procrastination will not be our Priority!
We hold parents 100% accountable for their child. It is on you to arrive early, work with your child and cheer on ALL RUNNERS. Cheer on the slowest runners who really needs the push and support!
