Programs

Young Champions has been creating and enhancing youth programs for over 30 years. This experience has enabled us to provide affordable youth programs while still maintaining the highest quality and standards.

Classes in all our programs are 40 minutes in duration. Classes meet once a week for a 12 -14 week session. Programs held during the week are in the evening; those meeting on Saturdays are in the morning or afternoon. Most programs run for four sessions throughout the year.

Registration takes place at the class location 20 minutes prior to the scheduled class time. No special documentation is required to register. The Instructor or Coach will accept a one-time-per-session $6.00 Registration Fee with the Class Fee payable weekly ($7.00 at most locations) or payable in-full ($6.00 times the number of weeks in the session). Parents can register students through Week 4 of the session.

There are a limited number of scholarships available. Scholarships provide partial payment of the Class Fee reducing it from $7.00 to $4.00. In order to benefit all children, we can only offer one scholarship per family.

At the end of each session, there is a $10 materials/advancement fee due; this fee pays for awards and certificates.
