2:30 – 4:30 pm – Orangutans – [Click here to Register]

Grading tests are opportunities to enter into Level 2+ classes. When a student feels they are ready, they can request to review the syllabus/grading test from the front desk to see if they can demonstrate all the skills required. Testing occurs about once every three months, and a student can attempt the test whenever they feel ready (or better, at a coach’s recommendation!)

What’s this “Orangutan” business?
A special class block has been opened for Level 3 students who are 13 to 15 years old. If you’re currently in level 2, and in that age range, consider taking the test to get into this high level class!

***Kids’ Open gym will begin at 4:30pm, instead of 4:00 during the above dates.***
