Youth Self-Defense / Safety-Awareness
Champion Youth Self-Defense and Safety-Awareness classes are tailored to each age group according to their emotional, mental and physical development. We teach verbal skills as well as confident posture and eye contact and physical skills for defense which include blocking, close-contact techniques and escape maneuvers. Emphasis is placed on self-defense, communication, and the appropriate use of skills learned and practiced in class. Each class concludes with a briefing on the "Safety Tip of the Week". Each successive session provides reinforcement of previously learned techniques in addition to new and more advanced instruction.
For the many five and six-year-olds enrolled in our program, we concentrate on body movement, hand-eye coordination, distinguishing left-side from right-side, and verbal tools such as "Let me go!" For the older youth, we work on practicing communication skills to deal with peer conflict, learning when to walk away from potential violent situations, and abduction prevention.
Youth Poms and Dance
Champion Youth Poms and Dance are progressive dance courses that enable students to learn dance steps from professional dancers/teachers. Our philosophy is based on using AGE APPROPRIATE music and choreography to perform routines with integrity. Emphasis is on physical fitness and fun. Students learn dance skills and terminology and develop confidence for try-outs and competitions. Younger students focus on body awareness, learning left from right, and developing coordination. Older students focus on developing good posture, coordination, strength and flexibility.
Soccer Clinics
Champion Youth sponsors soccer clinics to practice skills & strategies needed to improve your game! We will work on techniques such as kicking, passing, heading, and scoring as well as learn about game strategies.
