A SIMPLE WAY TO GET STARTED
Joining Vertex Movement should be straightforward. Review the age groups and timetable, then use one registration/trial form. You do not need to choose a specific class registration link.
CHECK THE CURRENT TIMETABLE
See the live class schedule and current membership options on the Classes page. These are synced directly from the Vertex Movement management system.
REGISTER / BOOK A TRIAL
Use our single registration and trial form. Tell us about the athlete and we will use that information to help with the appropriate starting point and placement.
WE CONFIRM THE NEXT STEP
Vertex will confirm availability, placement and the relevant training information before the athlete starts.
AGE GROUPS
WHICH CLASS SHOULD I CHOOSE?
Choose the athlete’s age group as the starting point. Every class includes progressions, so complete beginners and more experienced athletes can work at an appropriate level.
Ages 7–9
U10 — FOUNDATIONS THROUGH FUN
U10 is where strong movement foundations begin. This class introduces younger athletes to parkour through structured, age-appropriate challenges that develop coordination, balance, jumping, landing, climbing, vaulting, spatial awareness and confidence. Training is designed to be engaging and progressive while teaching athletes how to move with control and make sensible decisions around obstacles. Athletes also begin working through the Vertex wristband progression system, allowing coaches to track their individual skill level rather than relying on age alone. U10 is normally the starting group for athletes within this age range, but class placement can be adjusted where an athlete's ability, development or confidence makes another training group more appropriate.

Ages 10–12
U13 — BUILD SKILLS. BUILD CONFIDENCE.
U13 builds on the foundations and develops stronger, more independent parkour athletes. Training becomes more technical and athletes begin combining movements, developing greater power and precision, improving obstacle awareness and learning a wider range of vaults, jumps, climbs, swings, wall movements and introductory acrobatic skills where appropriate. Athletes continue progressing through the Vertex wristband levels, so challenges can be adapted to each athlete's actual ability within the class. Age remains the baseline for placement, but athletes do not automatically move class simply because of a birthday. Coaches may recommend remaining in, moving into or progressing beyond an age group when it provides the best environment for continued development.

Ages 13–16
U17 — PUSH YOUR SKILLS FURTHER
U17 is our advanced youth development environment for athletes ready to take their movement further. Training places greater emphasis on technical quality, strength, power, speed, creativity, movement combinations, advanced obstacle work and more demanding parkour and acrobatic progressions where the athlete is ready. Athletes are encouraged to develop greater independence, understand their own limits and make intelligent decisions about progression and risk. Wristband levels remain an important part of training, meaning athletes can work at significantly different technical levels while still training within the same group. U17 is generally the progression point for older athletes, although final placement is based on the individual rather than age alone.
