Do kids have to compete?

No. Competition is optional. Some families eventually ask about local tournaments, so we built a parent guide for choosing safe, age-appropriate events when the time is right.

Reserve a calm Free Intro before you decide anything else.

Visit the room, meet Sandy, learn the safety basics, and choose the right class lane without pressure.
