Parkour and freerunning help children and young people move with confidence, creativity and control. Learn how to overcome obstacles safely, build strength and turn movement into adventure.
Parkour is about learning how to move through your environment safely, creatively and confidently. It includes running, climbing, jumping, vaulting, balancing, landing and linking movement together.
At Quayside, children and young people learn in a safe, coached environment where challenge is built gradually and every movement has a purpose.
Sessions include warm-ups, stations, drills, routes, games and cool-downs, helping children develop strength, agility, trust, teamwork, communication and problem-solving.
Coach Luxon says parkour is not about rushing. It is about choosing your move, trying bravely and landing safely.
Parkour is not just climbing and jumping. It is a little laboratory for courage, control, decision-making and creative movement.
Children build whole-body strength through climbing, landing, balancing and moving across obstacles.
Parkour helps children understand how to stay steady, controlled and aware of their body position.
Moving between challenges develops speed, coordination, reactions and clever footwork.
Children learn to look at an obstacle, plan their route and choose a safe way through.
Every class gives children a chance to practise movement skills, build confidence and discover how much they can do when they try.
Learning safe ways to travel over obstacles with control, timing and confidence.
Building safe landing habits to protect the body and prepare for stronger movement.
Developing strength, grip, body awareness and brave-but-safe choices.
Linking movements together to create smooth, controlled sequences.
Understanding space, distance, height, direction and movement choices.
Encouraging communication, trust, patience and cheering each other on.
Practising careful movement, accurate landings and controlled steps.
Every new obstacle conquered gives children a little more belief in themselves.
Parkour sessions are structured to help children and young people develop safely, with different class styles for different stages.
Youth Academy sessions follow a set lesson plan, helping children learn parkour and freerunning in a safe, progressive and coach-led way.
Creative Movement sessions include a set warm-up and cool-down, with time in the middle for participants to work on their chosen parkour or freerunning movement with coach support.
Parkour prices are listed as monthly payments.
All participants must be members of Quayside Trampoline and Gymnastics Club and registered with British Gymnastics.
Parkour takes place on Thursdays, with related Ninja, Wall Traversing and Parkour classes on Fridays.
Parkour is active, physical and full of movement, so clothing needs to be safe, comfortable and easy to move in.
