As CrossFit athletes we all know the invaluable and endless benefits that CrossFit gives us both inside and outside of the gym. How hard is it to answer the infamous question: “So, what is CrossFit?” When my family or friends ask me, I sputter out, “Constantly varied, functional movements executed at high intensity.” I usually quickly follow that up with, “You just have to come try it out, man!” I think the best way to understand what CrossFit is, is to be a part of it. I think that the benefits of CrossFit, and more specifically the benefits of CrossFit Kids, are beautifully outlined in this CrossFit Kids Journal article about a young lady named Darby Nelson.

San Antonio CrossFit Kids is a program designed to help kids develop a lifelong relationship with fitness that will provide them with a strong foundation for athletic ability. Mission Kids fosters an environment in which fitness becomes more of a lifestyle than a program. In order to achieve fitness we require that our athletes push, pull, run, throw, climb, lift, jump, effectively and safely.

What We Strive For, Teach and Encourage

Our CrossFit Kids program is designed to be a universally scalable program that makes it the perfect application for any child regardless of experience.  We scale weight and intensity to cater to each child’s capacity.  The needs of our children differ by degree, not kind. The program will help prepare an individual for any sport and life in general.  All of our activities are age-appropriate and each child can approach them at his or her intensity.

We concentrate on teaching young athletes the core fundamental, functional movements to create a broad and powerful athletic foundation. Athletes will be trained in gymnastic movements, body weight movements, and weightlifting elements to increase capacity across ten general physical skills: endurance, strength, stamina, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy.   Since our program supplies athletes with skills that are broad, general and inclusive, once athletes have a base in CrossFit, they will have an increased ability to succeed in other sports.

Leaving Better Than You Came

Mission Kids is not a watered down version of CrossFit, it is the true essence of CrossFit. We promote our youth to better themselves as individuals on their path to adulthood while encouraging positive self-esteem and teaching them how to overcome youth/teen adversity.
