Little Champions 2 (Ages 8–9) for Parkland Kids

Little Champions 2 builds on the fundamentals learned in the younger group, adding technical depth and longer drilling sequences appropriate for eight-and-nine-year-olds. Parkland children at this age are old enough to receive and retain detailed coaching feedback, and Professor Costa's staff uses that capacity to accelerate technical development. Classes cover a wider range of positions, introduce competition concepts, and push children toward the kind of independent problem-solving on the mat that mirrors critical thinking in academic settings. Parents from Park Trails and Heron Bay who have enrolled children in this program regularly describe noticeable improvements in their children's ability to stay calm under pressure.
