WHAT ARE PARKOUR EXPLORER CLINICS?

The Parkour Explorer program is for young movers that are looking to go beyond the basics and spend time building their skills “in the real world” in a variety of settings!  Ideally participants have had some prior parkour training to been exposed to the basics of parkour with us- at school, a local community center, in the park, or wherever they found us! 

These clinics give us a much larger block of time (5 hours!) to spend experimenting with different movements, honing our techniques, and playing movement games to test out skills.  If your child is interested in jumping around the city, want to build friendships with other curious movers, and are looking to push their training to a new level then this is the program for them!

TIME / LOCATION

10am - 3pm at The Dojo @ Somernova (15 Properzi Way, Somerville)

REQUIREMENTS

- Ages 7-13yo.  

- Prior parkour experience with PKGB required- ideally 10+ sessions so that you're comfortable with the basic techniques and concepts!

SCHEDULE

We start at The Dojo @ Somernova where we’ll get to know each other,  explore the space, and get warmed up on the custom-built and ever-changing parkour zone out back.  Then we’ll walk as a group over to a local playground to explore the space through the lens of parkour and spend time exploring our environment and developing our “parkour vision” (the lens that parkour practitioners use to see the world as a giant playground).  There will challenges to conquer, movement games to play, and urban treasures to find.  After snack we’ll head back to The Dojo to work on some fun challenges in the Parkour Zone out back and play movement games to try out our new skills.
