We realize that children in this age group have specific characteristics that differ from children younger and older than them. They are sharper and more focused than children 6 and under, however, they are still not quite ready to face the same challenges presented to kids ages 10 and older.

Although some children between the ages of 7 to 9 can keep up with older children, and in some cases, surpass them, the average 7 to 9 year old can benefit from a more specific type of training that will help them develop the best; physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
The stages of development for kids ages 7 to 9 years old have been studied. Research has shown that there 8 advanced skills that kids in this age group are in the process of developing. Those skills are:

  • Agility
  • Technique
  • Courage
  • Intensity
  • Flexibility
  • Perseverance
  • Speed
  • Concentration

Kids in this age group will train with other kids in the same age group so they can learn and grow in a program that accommodates their skills and abilities. By doing this they will not have to be distracted by younger or older classmates.

This means that their training will not be slowed down due to the learning abilities of a younger child and will not be pressured to keep up with the capabilities of pre-teens. This means better, more functional classes designed just for them. Your child will feel comfortable and more capable of achieving excellence. They are at an age where the more special they feel, the harder they will try.
