The Youth Award is the next stage of development for young parkour practitioners and a recognition of their progress in training.
The focus of this Award is for the student to be able to move at a good level, demonstrating basic skills such as jumps, rolls, arm jumps, vaults, tic-tacs, balance, etc., while also showing combinations of these movements to produce basic fluidity over terrain and the ability to adapt to new challenges. This Award also begins introducing the concepts of physical fitness and development as a significant aspect of healthy, progressive training.
We recommend young practitioners attend the Youth Award training day more than once so as to demonstrate continued progress in their training and bridge towards attempting the Young Traceur Award.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The Youth Award teaches participants about:
Training - The importance of progressive, gradual training and practice for long-term health and improvement
Fitness - The importance of holistic fitness training for movement health, strength and longevity
Creativity - Expressing individuality and creativity through movement

Parkour Competence Assessment: This assessment happens as part of a group of candidates and requires the practitioner to demonstrate initial competence in utilising the foundational movements in a given space and to the assessor’s satisfaction.
