Intro Parkour

Ages 5-8
Ages 9-12+
Adult (13 & up)

Parkour aims to get through a series of obstacles as fast as possible, similar to American Ninja Warrior, using strength, rolls, coordination, and athleticism. Freerunning combines the obstacles of parkour with the flips, twists, and artistry of gymnastics and tricking. All classes will begin upstairs at UMDGC.
