Parkour
For this parkour article we spoke to Parkour Generations who run junior classes and camps. To read our last parkour article (which has a beginner’s video from Sébastien Foucan) click here .
At the moment, due to Covid, the Parkour Generations classes are just in London but they will be starting again across the country so keep reading bsporty and we will let you know when.
Parkour Generations run Parkour Classes in London in a safe environment in which children your age can learn the fundamental movements and methods of parkour.
You all know that regular movement and exercise is a vital part of growing up and Parkour Generations work to find and encourage your physical potential and help you to grow up into a strong, fit, healthy adult.
The Kids Parkour Classes involve a wide variety of games, activities, challenges and tasks to develop your movement potential, whilst also building core skills such as resilience, problem-solving, teamwork and friendship.
AGE GROUPS
We run classes for young people of all ages:
FAMILY PARKOUR: 1-5yrs with a parent / guardian
MICRO PARKOUR: 6-8yrs
JUNIOR PARKOUR: 8-11yrs
YOUTH PARKOUR: 12-15yrs
If you want to discover how to move and explore your potential in a safe environment then you can sign up for a Youth Membership and get moving!
YOUTH PARKOUR CAMPS
Wanting some inspiration for October half term?
There's no better way than to run, jump and climb through parkour!
Guided by their superb coaching team, you will come away having tested your mental and physical agility whilst gaining some exciting new movement skills to share with friends and family.
They focus on movement skills, acrobatics and fitness as well as core skills such as resilience, creativity, teamwork, problem-solving and self-efficacy.
You will get plenty of time to train, play and explore, with a supervised lunch break included too.
