A lot of people talk about how to get kids to listen, pay attention, and learn in class. You’ll hear them say things like, “Kids need to learn discipline.”.
We use a different approach to class management based on decades of K12 teaching and working with neurodivergent kids. We know that when they are engaged in meaningful activities and learn how to be responsible for their own behavior, they stay on task. We also know that kids need space to be kids.
We teach kids how to manage their own behavior and develop leadership skills. They take ownership of their learning and behavior instead of a coach telling them what to do. Our behavior management system balances the development of self-regulation and confidence with training that is both fun and productive. This develops a mindset and work ethic that transfers far beyond our gym walls.
