Children and Teenagers are our future! This simple sentence embodies much more than just a “saying”. Over the past 7 years of my studies in Sports Science at the University of Basel, I learned how important the physical education of children and teenagers is. Not just regarding their skills but also their health in the future. That’s why I decided to start a kids and teens program at CrossFit HelvetiX together with our team in order to pass my knowledge to the next generation with the goal to prepare them for the physical, social and mental tasks coming up in their lives!

I am a father of two kids and try to get them access to a great variety of different sports activities. There is nothing more important than building a foundation for health, movement and joy. I was lucky to do a lot of sports very early on and today i`m a full time coach & trainer, helping people of all ages to live a healthy life. I trained kids in gymnastics & martial arts and supported “Volley Intensiv” and “Basel Talents”, two successful programs for teens. Fitness for kids should be fun, safe, inclusive and build self-confidence. This is the way.

Structured and guided CrossFit® Training for Kids between the ages 8 and 12 years and Teens between the ages 13 and 17 years with the focus on building the basics of coordinative skills so as physical condition and strength!
EFFICIENT AND AGE SPECIFIC TRAINING!
Children and adolescents are at different stages of physical development and maturation. Accordingly, individual goals and perceptions of exercise and sport differ depending on age. Therefore, it is extremely important to adjust the content of the training sessions according to the individual motor skills and conditional capacities.
CREATING AN EDUCATIONAL AND FUN SETTING FOR EVERYONE!
That’s why we offer a total of two different age-specific programs in order to neither underchallenge nor overchallenge the participants. By enjoying movement and exercise with like-minded peers, our program creates even more joy and results in even bigger progresses! To ensure a safe and guided environment our classes provide only 8 total spots for every lesson to ensure that our coaches can teach the children and teens properly and effectively.
HELVEKIDS FOR CHILDREN BETWEEN 8 – 12 YEARS!
Our HelveKids program focuses on learning fundamental movements required in everyday life and all sports disciplines by building basic physical conditioning and coordinative competences through exciting games and fun challenges with children between the ages of 8 and 12.
HELVETEENS FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH 13+ YEARS!
Our HelveTeens program sets its focus on a more advanced learning environment to deepen conditioning and coordination skills for youth between the ages of 13 and 17, setting the base for future participation in CrossFit® or different sports and/or enhanced performance in the specific sport disciplines practiced alongside CrossFit®.
HELVEKIDS & HELVETEENS AT 11:30-12:30!
The lessons of our HelveKids and HelveTeens program always take place on Saturday and start at 11:30. The lessons will last for 60 Minutes until 12:30. Currently both age groups are taking place in the same time slot with the same coach. Thanks to our professional program and coaching, age specific training remains at the highest priority and is implemented thanks to several age appropriate progressions and scaling options for every exercise. A potential split of the group will take place as soon as a specific number of Kids / Teens are in the program in order to maintain the highest coaching quality!
OUR COACHES ARE THERE FOR YOU!
Our coaches are always in place 15 minutes prior to and after the class to be at your disposal if there are any questions or terms to be discussed!
NO LESSONS DURING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!
Our programming incorperates the school holidays. That means that there are no lessons during the official school holidays in Basel. Details will always be announced in the classes.

60 MINUTES OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Every lesson lasts for a total of 60 minutes each. In every session the coaches set the focus on a coordinative, a strength, a conditional and a social aspect with the goal to progressively educate proper movement in a individual and/or team setting.
A PLAYFUL WARM UP
Every lesson starts at the whiteboard with a “Get together” where the Children receive an initial overview of the lesson from the coaches to get to know what to expect throughout the 60 minutes. In a playful warm up, the children will then be prepared for the movements according to the daily program.
COORDINATION
During a first coordinative skill part the participants learn more about one of the 7 coordinative skills: balance, orientation, coupling, rhythm, reaction, differentiation, transition.
GYMNASTICS & STRENGTH
After learning new coordinative skills the participants will then be led into a advanced skill part where the focus is set on transferring the learned coordinative skill into a strength and gymnastics element.
CONDITIONING
In a final workout the children learn to solve physical tasks and challenges alone or together in teams with the goal to increase their endurance capacity through fun and play.
RECAP & COOLDOWN
Every lesson concludes with a fun cool down game, a recap of the learned skills and a quick preview of the next lesson.
AWAKENING JOY IN MOVEMENT AND SPORT!
Our first priority is to show the participants how fun and enjoyable exercising can be. By having fun doing sports we set an important milestone for a long-term, physically active and healthy lifestyle.
DEVELOPING MOTOR RECRUITMENT PATHWAYS, ENSURING SAFE AND EFFICIENT MOVEMENT NOW AS WELL AS IN THE FUTURE!
Adding up, the goals of our CrossFit Kids program are far reaching in the short as well as the long term. Our intent is having children show mastery in executing foundational movements which, in turn, have universal application in all human movements.
ENHANCING SOCIAL AND LIFE SKILLS!
Additionally, our CrossFit® Kids and Teens program also has the goal to provide the participants an opportunity to enhance social and life skills such as:

A PRESCRIPTION TO IMPROVE HEALTH!
Physical activity embodies the cornerstone of a healthy life in the present and the future. By building muscles, strengthening passive body structures and promoting the body’s internal metabolic processes, sport embodies the best natural preventive medicine. It is never too early to start.
A FUN AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT TO IMPROVE HEALTH
CrossFit® is a strength and conditioning program that combines weightlifting, functional movements executed at high intensities and gymnastics in a group setting to achieve the mentioned health-promoting effects on the physical health of the participants through guided movement and sports. Thanks to the group setting, participants experience the fun and joy of physical activity by building new friendships and enjoying movement!
AN EDUCATIONAL SETTING TO SET THE BASIC FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY!
In addition to the goal of improving the health of our participants with the help of training and thus physical activity, the correct learning of fundamental movements is one of the main goals of our CrossFit® Kids and Teens program. That’s why our HelveKids and HelveTeens program embodies a unique opportunity for kids and teens to improve their basic movement skills focusing on topics such as moving themselves and external objects efficiently and safely. Thereby, our training sessions aim to set the basis for future sports participation or at the same time set the focus on enhancing the skills needed to perform within the currently practiced sport.
