Let me start by telling you that I have been to a lot of cert's over the years and after spending two days with Jeff and Mikki Martin, I must say that the CrossFit Kids Certification is by far the most valuable I have ever attended. This was a very engaging and interactive experience. What Maribel and I learned over the weekend was not just about CrossFit for KIDS but for men and women of all ages. When we sat down on day one, this was written on the whiteboard..."
CrossFit Kids is not simply a scaled down version of CrossFit, it is entirely absolutely CrossFit geared and designed for a special population and the specific developmental needs of that population (nuerological, cognitive, motor)." This definition of their program was explained in detail through lectures and demonstrated very clearly. We observed several classes including; preschool (3-5), kids (5-12) and teens (13-17). The "9 Foundational" CrossFit moves were reviewed and everyone learned how to teach (cue) these movements at all levels (preschool, kids and teens). Each class involved a "game", which was more important than the WOD (workout). The key to their SUCCESS is simple... make sure they are HAVING FUN. Funny how we forget about this. Jeff, Mikki and the entire CFK staff did an amazing job presenting and putting on a fantastic weekend. I can't wait to bring it all back to the Brickhouse! Get ready to have fun!
A BIG THANKS to Jeff and Mikki Martin
