FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can participate in group classes?
Our classes are designed for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We offer classes for kids (ages 6–10), teens (11–17), and adults (18+), with options for athletes of all ability levels.
How many athletes are in each class?
We maintain a maximum 1:4 coach-to-athlete ratio with a maximum of 12 athletes to ensure every athlete receives individualized support while enjoying the benefits of a group environment.
How do I know which class is right for my athlete?
Our team will help you determine the best fit based on your athlete’s age, goals, interests, abilities, and support needs. Some classes are beginner-friendly, while others are designed for athletes seeking more advanced movement challenges.
What if my athlete needs extra support during class?
Our coaches adapt activities and provide individualized instruction within our 1:4 coach-to-athlete ratio to help every athlete participate successfully. However, group classes are not designed to provide continuous one-on-one support. If an athlete requires dedicated one-on-one assistance to safely participate or get the most out of the class, we ask that a parent, caregiver, or support staff attend the class to provide that individualized support. This allows our coaches to effectively lead the group while ensuring every athlete has the support they need to succeed.
Can my athlete take more than one type of class?
Absolutely. Many athletes participate in multiple classes throughout the week to experience different types of movement, build new skills, and keep fitness fun and engaging.
Do athletes need previous fitness or sports experience?
Not at all. Our group classes are designed for athletes of all ability levels. Coaches adapt activities to meet each athlete where they are, making classes welcoming for both beginners and experienced participants.
