CrossFit Kids Certifications

Spend an interactive weekend learning the specifics of teaching CrossFit to kids and teens with Coach Jeff Martin, Mikki Martin and the CrossFit Kids HQ staff. CrossFit Kids is not simply a scaled down version of the adult program. Learn child specific cues for the primary CrossFit movements, scaling for kids of all ages and abilities, progressions that address the specific needs of children and teens and engaging, kid-friendly drills. Investigate the pivotal role exercise plays in the neurological development of kids. Get the bottom line on the safety and efficacy of weightlifting for kids. Discuss health and safety issues, effective teaching styles, and programming for kids. Learn techniques and methods to overcome the unique challenges of teaching the CrossFit methodology to kids and how to structure class time in a manner that keeps kids engaged and enthused. Find out how a CrossFit Kids program can help build your affiliate business. Hear and see how CrossFit Kids is changing the lives of children and teens around the world for the better. Affiliates, teachers, coaches, home schooling families and others will benefit from learning this unique, kid-friendly approach to teaching the CrossFit method.

Two 30 minute CrossFit Kids classes are run during the Seminar, a CrossFit Kids class and an advanced CrossFit Kids class. Additional demonstrations are presented by some of our teen "firebreathers."

Parents are giving their children into our care when they place them into our CrossFit Kids programs. In the interest of protecting children, a criminal background check is required for each participant before a Certificate will be issued*. Certificates will be delivered upon successful completion of the Certification Seminar and a clear background check.

There is no test requirement at this time. However, the interactive nature of our seminar requires participation by those in attendance. Please dress comfortably and be prepared to move. An after care package will be sent to all participants shortly after completion of the seminar, which includes links to the essential CrossFit Kids Magazine Issues, Introductory CrossFit Kids Program classes, The Movements with child friendly cues, PE testing documents, and a ParQ template written with kids in mind.

The Certification is held in Ramona, California a beautiful 45 minute drive from downtown San Diego. We will meet from 9-5 each day with a one hour lunch. Guest speakers may require some flexibility in this scheduling.
