Open gym and tricking time for those curious about parkour and our currently enrolled parkour athletes. Teens and adults welcome. Ages 12 and up only. No experience is necessary. First timers welcome. Our coaches take an active role in you or your child's time here, offering challenges, teaching new moves, and having fun playing active games.

Youth Parkour One is best for athletes ages 7, 8, and 9 regardless of experience and ability. Playformance Parkour classes feature a non-competitive discipline of movement focused on play and creativity that teaches kids how to overcome any obstacle with a playful mindset. Our students will learn to seek out challenges that will test them physically and mentally. Through facing these challenges, they build a solid fitness foundation of strength, flexibility, balance, control, creativity, and discipline. Students play challenging games with others to help grow their social and emotional skills through playful connection. We view parkour as a team sport and teach our students to support and encourage each other through their challenges. Parkour is a training discipline focused on how to use your challenges to grow physically, mentally, and socially. Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most creative way possible. Parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement (crawling) and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation and challenge.
