Monday and Wednesday evenings.

Built for young athletes.

CFT Kids and Youth, Trussville AL

Two programs, split by age, because what a seven year old needs and what a twelve year old needs are not the same thing. Coached every minute, no experience required, and run in quarterly sessions so each block builds on the last.

Two programs, built differently

Pick the one that fits your kid.

Same coaches, same room, same standard. The programming is written separately for each age group because a seven year old is learning to move and a twelve year old is learning to train. Both run Monday and Wednesday evenings during an active session.

CFT Kids class, ages 7 to 9
Ages 7 to 9
CFT Kids
Monday and Wednesday, 6:00 to 6:30pm

Thirty minutes of games, movement, and structured play that happens to build real coordination. Kids leave sweaty, proud, and asking when they get to come back.

  • Coordination, balance, and fundamental movement
  • Energy and endurance built through play
  • No competition against each other, only effort
  • Thirty minute classes, twice a week

CFT Youth class, ages 10 to 12
Ages 10 to 12
CFT Youth
Monday and Wednesday, 6:30 to 7:30pm

A full hour where athletes learn to lift correctly, build real strength, and find out what they are capable of. The confidence shows up at school and on the field before it shows up on a barbell.

  • Proper technique taught from day one
  • Functional movement and strength development
  • Discipline that carries into sport and school
  • Sixty minute classes, twice a week
Ask about the next session
Sessions run quarterly
Kids and Youth run in blocks a few times a year instead of continuously, which keeps each group together from start to finish and lets the coaching build week over week instead of restarting every time somebody new walks in. Spots are limited and we fill them from the list first.

The question every parent asks

Is it safe for my kid to lift?

Yes. And the research has said so for thirty years.

Supervised, properly coached strength training is one of the safest activities a young athlete can do. It is safer than the sports your kid already plays. The injury risk in youth training comes from bad coaching and too much load too fast, not from the training itself.

So that is exactly what we control. Bodyweight before load. Mechanics before intensity. Always. A kid in CFT Youth earns the right to add weight by showing the movement is clean first, and a coach is watching every rep of it.

Nobody here is trying to make your eleven year old strong this month. We are trying to make them a person who knows how to train for the next sixty years.

What they actually leave with

Skills they carry forever.

Off the screen
Something Real
Kids who move sleep better, focus better, and feel better. This gives them a place to be physical and competitive and proud of something they actually earned.
With friends
A Real Crew
The same group moves through the whole session together, cheers for each other, and finishes hard things side by side. That bond is why they keep asking to come back.
Coached, every minute
Actual Development
Age appropriate progressions from coaches who work with young athletes. Effort gets celebrated, improvement is the only standard, and nobody gets a trophy for showing up.

Before your athlete starts

Parent questions.

When does the next session start?
Sessions run quarterly and we announce dates ahead of each block. Email info@crossfittrussville.com or text (205) 317-9234 and we will tell you exactly when the next one opens and hold a spot for your athlete.
Which program is right for my child?
Age decides it. CFT Kids is ages 7 to 9, movement focused and game based. CFT Youth is ages 10 to 12, more structured, and introduces real lifting. If your kid is right on the boundary, call us and we will tell you which room they belong in.
Does my child need any experience?
No. Both programs are built for beginners. Kids who have never trained work right alongside kids who play three sports, and the coaching meets each of them where they are.
My kid is not athletic. Will they feel out of place?
No, and this is the group that benefits most. There is no competition against the other kids, no tryout, and no bench. Every class is scaled so every athlete is working at their own level and finishing with the group.
Is CFT Youth safe for a kid who has never lifted?
Yes. Technique is taught from the ground up, bodyweight before load and mechanics before intensity, every single time. Our coaches know the difference between developing a young athlete and loading up a kid, and that line is not crossed here.
What does a session cost?
Email info@crossfittrussville.com or text (205) 317-9234 and we will send pricing the same day. Sibling discounts are available if you have more than one kid joining.
What should my kid bring and wear?
Athletic clothes, closed toe tennis shoes, and a water bottle. Nothing else. We have every piece of equipment they will use.
