Virtual lessons include personalized exercises, workouts, and drills to complete throughout the lesson package.
Once you get a hang of a drill, you film yourself or your kid performing the drill.
We hop on a 30 min call per lesson where we breakdown and disect what you have been working on and what are the biggest areas of opportunity for growth moving forward.
