Risk of injury if athlete is not during skills correctly. Parent guidance and assistance maybe needed. Please make sure proper safety precautions are taken. For example, make sure athlete is not doing skills next to furniture and has proper matting required for class. This is a risky class because the student does not have a coach at home to work with them on proper form and technique and the potential for injury exists.
