Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Kids Classes – Deerfield
What ages are Deerfield Academy classes?
Tracks start with the youngest academy band (around 3–4) and step up through school-age groups. The live Deerfield schedule on this page is the source of truth.
How long is a Deerfield Academy class?
Usually 45–60 minutes of stations and coaching — after-school length, not a camp day.
Do Deerfield kids need experience?
No. Coaches scale the hour. First visit is supposed to feel possible, not like a tryout.
When do Deerfield classes usually run?
After-school weekday blocks and weekend mornings are typical. Confirm this week on the Deerfield board — District 109/113 calendars move evenings around.
Can we trial a Deerfield class?
Yes. Take the trial before you buy a pack.
What will my child actually train here?
Balance, hangs, landings, listening in a small gym. It's skill work that looks like play.
Deerfield winter — still class?
Indoor suite. Waukegan Road ice is a drive problem, not a floor problem.
