Emotional Intelligence

Coachability
Being able to take direction, correction and advice is a skill! At Kids Parkour Explore, children learn how to receive feedback and apply instruction - which is vital for success in life!
Leadership
Someone has to lead the future. Why not your child? Kids Parkour Explore gives children structured leadership opportunities that will help them become future role models.
Kids Parkour Explore isn't just physical skills
Family Oriented
From the class schedule to the program focus to the interaction inside the facility, Kids Parkour Explore was designed for families to have a positive, supportive place to call home!
A Sense of Belonging
It's not a luxury; it's a developmental requirement that kids have connections from groups outside the home where they feel like they belong. Where they're accepted, supported, and even challenged, but most of all, where they feel they belong. Kids Parkour Explore curates that experience for every single one of our students so that they know they have friends and peers they can rely on.
Character Skills
Yes, they'll learn impressive physical skills, but some of the most important lessons at Kids Parkour Explore are about Persistence, Determination, Empathy and other foundational life skills that students will be able to utilize for the rest of their lives.
Athletic Skill Building
It's more than amazing ninja moves - it's proprioception, balance, agility and more - physical traits that when started young, will help your child become healthier, faster, stronger, more confident in their own bodies and far more willing to take on future physical challenges.
Focused, balanced, strong -
and ready for any challenge

Parent feedback about Kids Parkour Explore is overwhelmingly positive, because it's more than just physical skills
Personal Growth
Parents have told us that the character development lessons and positive skill building their children get at Kids Parkour Explore is a huge parenting help. We've watched hundreds of kids turn into responsible, compassionate, determined teens and adults.
Kinesthetic Development
Developmental milestones don't stop once your child has grown out of the toddler phase. They can discover next-level coordination, build useable muscle strength, create dense bone structure and develop flexibility that will aid athletic performance and protect their bodies as they age. But they won't do this unless they're in a program that designed for it. Kids Parkour Explore is!
It's "Worth it"
So often, activities for kids just aren't worth the hassle. Getting everyone ready, driving across town, trying to create a new routine...all to discover that the program just isn't great. We hear all the time that other activities for this age group have leadership that isn't in control, instruction that's sub par and programming that doesn't seem to connect with students. But families at Kids Parkour Explore tell us that our program is the best they've ever attended!
Kids absolutely love it!
The most important part is that kids love classes. They're having so much fun in class that they don't even realize they're learning life skills that they'll take with them forever. Parents tell us that classes at Kids Parkour Explore are the best part of their child's week!
Kids all over Allentown say classes at Kids Parkour Explore are their favorite activity. Because it's built just for them!
Athletic Prowess
Our curriculum is designed to turn everyday kids into superstars. It's not just parents on the sidelines who can see the physical capabilities grow, the students can feel it too! The smiles on their faces when they nail the next big move.
Confidence in Action
It's one thing to tell a kid to be confident. But when they go from day 1, not knowing anything, to being physically capable of the skills at their level, you can actually see their confidence grow. They earn it class after class.
It's so much fun!
We're not sure if it's the super engaging instructors, the age specific curriculum, the inclusive nature of the program, or the confidence kids are gaining, but kids tell us that classes at Kids Parkour Explore are the most fun they've ever had. No more dragging your child to their activities; they'll be in the car waiting when it's time for class!

Congruency
Our goals for our students are the same as your goals as a parent. Confidence, Self-Esteem, and Healthy Habits for life!

Having a solid foundation of positivity in your child's life is invaluable. You can't control their experiences everywhere, nor would you want to. But at Lehigh Valley Parkour Academy, you'll know they'll always be good ones.

Traditional Sports vs. Classes
Traditional Sports
Traditional Youth Sports don't work for most kids.
For many families, the emotional cost and lack of real benefits simply isn't worth the effort and time commitment
is the perfect solution
All of the benefits of a group sport - teamwork, interaction with peers, learning with a group, but with all of the advantages of an individual activity
Why Kids Parkour Explore instead of traditional sports?
The fact is that many of our students also do plenty of traditional sports like Football, Softball, Soccer and more. And for kids who love to do it all, their coaches consistently tell our instructors that training at Kids Parkour Explore gives these kids a competitive edge with reaction time, teamwork, and a higher "Sports IQ".
Families choose Kids Parkour Explore over other activities because our students truly thrive
But for some families, traditional team sports isn't ideal. Here's why Kids Parkour Explore is the right choice for so many families in Allentown
Only .00016%
Make it "big"
For every 1 Million kids who play team sports age 8-12, on average only 168 are drafted into professional leagues. This doesn't mean you shouldn't play, but it for some families, it means the demanding schedules and negative culture just aren't worth it.
Riding the bench
After only a few seasons
Kids are often benched long before they've been given a chance to develop as athletes. At Kids Parkour Explore, absolutely no one rides the bench. We make sure every student is challenged according to their abilities, and is supported as they grow into their potential.
"It's not their thing"
They deserve to find their "thing"
At Kids Parkour Explore, our goal isn't to pump out pros and bench the rest; it's to develop a students' full potential. For many kids, this means they may never play in the big leagues, but they'll love coming to every class, and they'll take the mental, emotional, and physical traits they develop with them into adulthood (even if they're not a pro player).

Frequently Asked Questions
Most people ask...
Can we start at any time?
Yes! We don't have typical seasons like traditional sports. We are ready for beginners all the time!
My child is too short/tall/shy/rambunctious etc. Will they fit in?
Most likely, yes. But that's why we have a trial; to be sure that our program can accomodate your child and anything they need. Parents often find that their children fit right in because our program is designed to be inclusive, but if you have specific concerns, give us a call and talk to one of our professional instructors so that we can get a better feel for what your family may need!
Will my child get hurt?
You can never completely eliminate risk, but we do our absolute best through conscious programming and expert instruction. In fact, we most often have children need to take it easy in our classes because they hurt themselves in baseball/soccer/volleyball etc. It's almost never the other way around!

Real feedback from real members
Just a few of the reviews from members at Kids Parkour Explore
I couldn't be happier that we found Lehigh Valley Parkour Academy. My son has been attending classes for 9 months, and he enjoys it so much. The individualized, go-at-your-own pace nature of parkour is a much better fit for him than team sports. We drive an hour each way to attend classes 2x/week, and it is so worth it. Because my son is autistic, one of the things I really appreciate is that the environment is surprisingly calming, down-to-earth, and not over-stimulating. LVPA absolutely shines not because of fancy bells and whistles (though they have a great setup!), but because of the unbelievable coaches who provide so much support, kindness, enthusiasm, patience, and individualized attention. Every coach is engaged and invested at all times, the coach-to-student ratio is amazing, and you can sense not only their love for the sport but, more importantly, their passion for helping kids boost their confidence in their skills and in themselves. I thanked one of the coaches recently for being so patient as he worked over and over with my son, and he responded (looking surprised), "I am always patient!" The respectful and empowering way in which the coaches work with the students is just second nature. We are very lucky to have found this place!
Ali Wert
My son has been attending classes twice a week at LVPA for almost a year and a half. He is as excited about it now as he was the day of his first class. The coaches are the best - always very welcoming and go out of their way to encourage, support and challenge the kids in each class. They always find time to talk to and work with any student that asks. Additionally, they are always willing talk with parents and answer any questions we may have.
Thanks to his Parkour training, my son has improved in the areas of strength, balance, body control and confidence. Many of his coaches from other sports have commented on how his strength, control and mental toughness have improved - they believe these improvements are due to his Parkour training. I recommend this gym to anyone - kids and adults!!
