Are the skills taught in the workshop hard to learn?
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?
Is Parkour dangerous?
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?
Can I register for more than 1 session?
Is there an age requirement/limit to sign up for workshops and competition?
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!
