Picking the right class for you
Picking the right class for you
We can be a bit flexible with the age groups. For example, the 10am class is designed for kids ages 5-7 and the 11am for 8-12s, but if you have a 7 year old and an 8 year old and you want them in the same class, you can choose whichever age group you think is the best fit.
Kids need to be at least 5 years to attend. 13 years + are welcome to join the 11am 8+ session. We don't have a dedicated teen class yet. (Let us know if you want one!)

Can we come to just one class? Or do we need to sign up for the whole term?
You are welcome to come along to just one or two classes (and pay per class). However, we do have a limited number of spaces available, and priority will be given to those that have booked in advance. If you wait to turn up on the day, and the class is full, we would need to turn you away. So best to get in touch and book your spot!

What do we need to bring?
Students should come in comfortable clothes that they can move in. Bring a water bottle. Closed toe shoes are recommended. It is preferred that students keep their shoes on during class for safety reasons.
Can parents stay and watch?
Can parents stay and watch?
If parents want to be in the room with us they have to join in! It's important that we don't have an audience throughout workshops so that students feel safe to be brave and give things a go. (But you are welcome to have a sneaky peak from the door). For most sessions we welcome you to come in at the very end and watch the final game.
