Kids Team (ages 9-12) showcase, Fall 2023.
Established in 2019, the Parkour Visions Youth Team welcomes students 7–18 looking to challenge themselves in new ways. This team meets weekly during the school year. It promotes a rigorous physical and mental routine focused on nurturing well-rounded athletes and community leaders, while still providing a fun, social training experience.
Youth Team (7-18) and Teen Team (13-18) sessions are 90 minutes long and run several days a week at different locations. Our Kids Team (7-12) is a 60 minute session. Kids team participants are not required to have a Team Membership.
Youth Team requires 6+ months (2 seasons) of parkour experience. For students new to parkour, please join a Parkour Foundations class to learn the basics before joining the Youth Team.
