COVE KIDS IS BACK
After a short hiatus, we are excited to announce that we restarting our Cove Kids program. We are firm believers that fitness (particularly through the CrossFit methodology) can have life changing effects on the happiness and well-being of people off all ages. This has been a mission of the Cove and we are so happy that we can once again share this benefits with our youth.
The Cove Kids program will be headed up by one of our very own athletes now turned youth coach, Tracy Hayden. Tracy has been a lead coach for the Bullseye Running Club and is passionate about helping younger athletes find their love of fitness and sport. In her passion for CrossFit, she has completed her CrossFit Level I certification so she can broaden her youth coaching expertise to the world of functional movements. She has been developing this program for several months and we are so excited to be launching it in the coming weeks.
To better serve the kids, we are going to be offering classes for TWO separate age groups. One class hour will be for ages 6-8 and there will be a separate class for 9-12-year-olds (these ages are general guidelines and there is some wiggle room). The younger group will be focused on functional movements with an emphasis on the fun and rewarding aspects of fitness. The older athletes will also be focused on the “fun” aspects of a CrossFit class as well but will be exposed to more complicated movements and skills.
The general goals of the Cove Kids program consist of children learning basic foundational movements, developing motor recruitment pathways, and ensuring safe and efficient movements that carry into their daily lives. We see this as an opportunity to expose these athletes to many aspects of fitness (strength, power, speed, quickness, coordination, endurance, etc. ) that build a foundation for them to have success in not just sports and athletics, but in life.
The is a 6-week program starting on November 13th and continuing through December 18th, with classes on Sundays at 1 PM (6-8-year-olds) and 2:30 PM (9-12-year-olds). The cost of the program is $100 for kids of Covies and “friends of Covies” (referrals). The non-member cost is $120.
