Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Can I register on behalf on my friend?

  • No, it would be best if all participants register for themselves. This is to ensure we have all participant's proper information in case of any emergency.

Are the skills taught in the workshop hard to learn?

  • Every student has a different goal and body. Therefore, we delight in helping you grow at a safe pace you can manage, with no competition or boot-camp shouting.

    While training together with other attendees, you’ll get to learn from one another and bond through shared challenges.

    If you can move and love to play, you can definitely learn something. Don’t worry about making mistakes, as every mistake is also a lesson learnt! Embrace the awkwardness that comes with learning anything new, as awkwardness is also an indicator of learning.

    Anyway, don’t overthink this. It’s probably easier than you think. 

I feel unfit. Am I qualified to attend?

  • You may think only the fit and active can learn new skills. Yet, we have taught students of diverse backgrounds and fitness levels.

    In fact, many students began their training from an inactive sedentary lifestyle, and have discovered a whole new meaning to physical, mental, and spiritual health over time.

    No matter what your abilities are, you can pick up something new. We strongly believe that anyone can enjoy the benefits of movement training and other art forms.

Is Parkour dangerous?

  • Safety and a strong sense of self-awareness is our non-negotiable practice when doing Parkour training.

    As instructors who have years of experience in managing danger under our belt, we emphasize the importance and teach the ways of keeping ourselves safe at all times.

    Above all, safety starts with being mindful of one’s limits and having the discipline to refrain. Through practice and with our help, you will be able to achieve this self-awareness.

What happens when I sign up for a workshop time slot?

  • You will receive a confirmation email that indicates your workshop booking. Do read up on the details of the workshop on this webpage so that you are well-prepared to attend.

Can I register for more than 1 session?

  • Yes, you may!

Is there an age requirement/limit to sign up for workshops and competition?

  • The age range for parkour participants is between 13 years old to 35 years old. 

If you do have any other questions, send us an email at YouthCreates@sport.gov.sg, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
