Drop off, Pick up & Running late

Please be reminded that each session begins at 5:00 pm and finishes at 6:00 pm. There will be times where we head outside for an outdoor session. We will always meet at Home Base at The Shed for indoor sessions. Sometimes running late is unavoidable and we will always be waiting at, or nearby our meeting point if we are at an outdoor location.  However, if you know you are going to be late, please inform the lead mentor ASAP. 

We will always meet at Home Base at The Shed in Sai Ying Pun regardless if we are indoors or outdoors.

Being Prepared

Arriving early and prepared, allows your child the best opportunity to make the most of their session with us.  Please share the packing responsibilities with children and let them take ownership of their possessions and at the same time be a helpful reminder to you! 

Each child should come prepared and have their own backpack with the following:

  • Small, healthy snack

  • Full water bottle

  • Wraps

  • Boxing gloves

  • Well fitted closed-toe running shoes

We appreciate that there is a lot of information above and we will use the WhatsApp chat to remind you of all these details on a day by day basis.

 

The Mentors

In the lead up to your child’s week with us, please take the time to have an upbeat chat with them about what is ahead. This will allow them some time to prepare for meeting the new mentors, the other children, and the new routines they are about to be involved in. Undoubtedly, there will be some nerves but they will be greeted with friendly faces and some running around should help to quickly get them relaxed and into the right frame of mind.
