Program Overview

Empowering Young Leaders, Enriching Little Warriors!

At Movement Terrain, we believe in fostering leadership, community, and positive mentorship. Our Jr. Coach & Parent Helper Program gives students ages 10+ and enthusiastic parents the chance to assist in our “Little Warriors” classes for ages 3–5. This is a unique opportunity for kids and parents to inspire, guide, and support our youngest ninjas.

Program Benefits

• Leadership Development: Jr. Coaches grow communication, responsibility, and teamwork skills in a hands-on environment.

• Positive Role Models for Kids: Little Warriors benefit from extra encouragement, attention, and relatable “heroes” beyond adult coaches.

• Discounts: Jr. Coaches and Parent Helpers receive special discounts on their own class tuition as a thank-you for their service.

• Jr. Coach T-Shirt.

Who Can Join?

• Students: Ages 10+ who demonstrate maturity, responsibility, a positive attitude, and a commitment to helping others!

• Parent Helpers: Any parent or guardian excited to support our Little Warriors and be a role model in the gym community.

Responsibilities

• Assist the lead coach during Little Warriors (ages 3–5) classes.

• Offer encouragement and help children with obstacle course skills.

• Ensure safety.

• Support classroom setup/cleanup and check ins.

• Model respect and a growth mindset for all participants.

Note: Jr. Coaches and Parent Helpers are always guided by Movement Terrain’s staff.

Program Structure

• Commitment: Volunteer for one class per week over our six week sessions (or more if interested!)

• Orientation/Training: All participants complete a brief onboarding covering child safety, behavior management, and class routines.

• Supervision: Adult coach supervision—Jr. Coaches and Helpers are not left alone with students.

• Feedback: Regular check-ins and opportunities to share experiences or ask questions.

Why This Program is Special

Many gyms talk about “teamwork” and “leadership,” but few give kids and parents the chance to actively practice those skills in a real, hands-on environment. This program builds a bridge between generations of ninjas — inspiring Littles, empowering kids, and strengthening the Movement Terrain community.
