Not sure where you are? Ask your coach after class. They can tell you your band and what to work on next.

Why bands.

Bands help us group classes, but the bigger point is clear goals. You will see parkour, freerunning and some breakdance in every band, so athletes grow across the whole sport. Each Upgrade Night shows what is going well and what to train next.

Quick answers.

Do I lose my band?

No. A band you earn is yours.

How long does each band take?

Everyone moves at their own pace. You move up by finishing the skills and fitness test, not by a number of classes.

What if my kid is between bands?

Coaches place every athlete in the group that fits and train them toward the next band.

What if I don't finish everything at Upgrade Night?

That is normal. You keep what you passed, leave with clear goals and finish at the next one.

Is there a knowledge part?

Yes, a short and informal chat with a coach about parkour history and culture after skills and fitness.

Do adults use bands?

No. Bands are for Youth and Teen classes. Adults train in all-levels classes with no formal testing.

How can we prepare?

Open your next band, go over the list with your coach and practice across all the disciplines.
