Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions from parents.

What equipment does my child need?

Equipment varies by sport! For most programs, kids just need athletic shoes, comfortable clothing, and a water bottle. Specific sports like soccer may require shin guards and cleats. We'll provide a detailed equipment list when you register.

What happens if there's bad weather or rain?

Most programs run rain or shine. For outdoor sports, we have indoor backup locations or will reschedule if weather is unsafe. Check with your local program coordinator for specific weather policies.

Can beginners join, or do kids need prior experience?

Our programs welcome all skill levelsβ€”from beginners to advanced players. Coaches adapt activities to meet each child where they are. No experience necessary!

Can parents watch the classes?

Yes! Parents are welcome and encouraged to watch. It's a great way to see what your child is learning and celebrate their progress.
