Our Staff

Our staff instructors go through a complete and thorough vetting and training program that progresses until they earn the right to lead in each age range and class. They are required to complete a Safe Sport Training Program and have ongoing skills and spotting lessons to fine tune their ability to deliver the safest methods of training each age group. They are taught to teach using positive encouragement and praise for each accomplishment rather than point out all the negative aspects.
