Kids (12- 14) class at Ripple Effect

Kids Class age 12 – 14

 

RE parents,

 

I’ve been asked more and more frequently about the possibility of a younger kids class happening. Or I’ve been hearing what a great thing it would be to give the movement and alignment education we provide at Ripple Effect to our kids when they are young, to help with injury prevention, sport performance and prevent the imbalances many of us are undoing later in life.

 

We are now offering a Kids 12 – 14 (exceptions will be made for some younger athletes – contact Carolyn) class Wednesday afternoons from 3:15 – 4:30pm this Fall and winter.

 

Training is structured and programs written specifically for the younger athlete.

 

Pricing: I’d like to offer the cost reduction to kids of RE athletes $12.50 a class. And if they have friends who’d like to come (non- RE families) $15.00 a class.

 

Older kids  (15 +) who are independent and training on their own (not in class with their parents) are invited as always to join RE classes. The pricing structure for them will remain the same as adults.

 

Let me know if you have any questions and if you’d like to enroll your child. We’re super excited about this program!

 

All my best,
Carolyn
