Is the trapeze for your kid(s)?
Do your children have a good head for heights? If they are thrill seekers and want to improve their fitness and have fun, trapeze for kids might be the sport for them! Performing aerial manoeuvres high above the ground might not be for everyone, but if your children enjoy it, learning the trapeze may have plenty of benefits:
- Develops core strength
- Improves confidence
- Helps improve flexibility
- Enhances balance
- Thrilling and exciting
Learning the trapeze is definitely one of the more adrenaline packed activities for kids and children who are afraid of heights or of a nervous disposition might find it a bit too scary. They might prefer juggling, learning to become a clown or other circus based kids activities where they can keep their feet on solid ground!
Trapeze lessons can start from as young as age 4 - if your preschooler can't get enough of the swing at the playground, why not give trapeze a go? Many parents are concerned about the risk of falls, but harnesses are worn at all times and trapeze schools are usually extremely aware of their students' safety and security.
Make sure your kids are dressed in tight fitting clothing as baggy clothes can get caught and make sure any long hair is tied back.
