SOGO Level 1 (Ages 6 - 12) 

​The Basics

​Through highly motivating playful games and activities, participants will navigate through adventure running stations as they learn the basics of Adventure Running.
​
Participants are divided into groups based on age and ability to ensure everyone receives the coaching and guidance they need and enjoys the maximum skills development from the program.
 
Each night focuses on building skills by engaging in two energetic Adventure Running stations: Navigation and Speed/Strength/Agility/Endurance. The stations rotate throughout the evening to keep participants learning, growing and developing.
  
Participants may take part in Level One for several years with challenges evolved at each session. Five year olds may join Level 1 program if they have done a season of SOGO Squirts.

PROGRAM UPDATES FOR SPRING 2021
  • Weekly Navigation Activities - Our registered participants gave us feedback that our SOGO kids love our Navigation activities so we are going to provide Navigation activities every week. Our SOGO kids will spend 30 minutes participating in our Navigation activity and 30 minutes on a Strength, Speed, Agility and Endurance activity to help instil principles of physical literacy
  • New SOGO Groups - We would like to do a better job at accommodating the needs of all our SOGO kids so this season we are creating two groups within our Level 1 program: our Level 1 Runners and our Level 1 Racers. Kids will have the opportunity to choose which group they would like to join at our week-1 sessions.
