CrossFit Educators Course (Ages 3–11)

Overview

The purpose of this course is for educators, teachers, or anyone who works with children to learn how to improve the quality and efficacy of their physical education programs through an introduction to CrossFit and its core principles and training methodologies.

The participant will learn how to:
     
  1. Elevate the quality of physical education provided to students through an understanding of core CrossFit training principles and methodologies.
  2. Integrate elements of CrossFit principles and activities into their curriculum effectively.
  3. Ensure the safety of their students when offering physical education activities.
  4. Understand and teach functional movements commonly used in CrossFit training and provide instruction on coaching techniques, cues, and feedback to ensure students perform exercises correctly and maximize their benefits.
  5. Assess and evaluate students’ progress and performance in functional movement activities, using both formative assessment and summative assessment.
  6. Track and measure students' progress and provide feedback based on their development.
  7. Promote overall health, wellness, and functional fitness, not just physical appearance.
  8. Create an engaging and supportive learning environment that encourages participation and enjoyment.
 

Upon successful completion of the course, participants with a current CrossFit trainer credential (CF-L1/CF-OL1 or higher) will receive a CrossFit Educators Certificate. Participants without a current CrossFit trainer credential will receive a certificate of completion. This course does not confer a CrossFit trainer credential or other certification necessary to offer CrossFit® brand training. Visit this link for more information about becoming a CrossFit credentialed coach.

Certified CrossFit Trainers and Certified CrossFit Coaches will receive three (3) CEUs toward maintaining the CCFT (CF-L3) or CCFC (CF-L4) credential. The certificate will be available for download at the bottom of this page.

This course can be completed in multiple sessions. However, it is recommended you complete a full module before exiting the course, as work on partially completed modules will not be saved.
