Age/Grade Requirements

The cut-off age/grade requirement are listed on registration. Please do not request or enroll your child in a program above your child’s age group. Grade requirements are set to insure your child’s safety and to facilitate program consistency for the participants and instructors alike.

If you do not request an age-based registration, your child will be registered automatically by their grade. To exercise this option, submit a valid copy of a birth certificate or passport. Without age verification requests will not be accepted. The option to register by age must be exercised at the time of registration, changes thereafter will not be permitted.

Equipment Requirements

Please note that many of our programs require personal equipment provided by the registrant. Please come prepared to the first class/session.
