Questions

Parents ask us

Who's watching my kiddo?

FCB coaches, the same team that runs our After School program and summer camps. There are at least two coaches every night, and we add more as the room fills.

My kiddo has never done Krav Maga. Is that okay?

Totally! The Krav Maga block is built for beginners: a warm-up game, two simple moves and pad work. Every first-timer breaks a board and takes it home.

Who gets the free first visit?

Families who are new to Fort Collins Best: kiddos who have never been to a PNO and aren't enrolled in After School or Young Warrior classes. It's one free night per kiddo. Enrolled FCB kiddos are $20, siblings $10.

Do I need to sign a waiver?

New families sign a quick waiver at the door. Scan the QR code while you're in line and it takes about two minutes. Returning families and enrolled FCB families walk straight in.

What about dinner?

Add the pizza dinner for $5 (two slices, water and a cookie), or your kiddo gets a snack and water. Tell us about any food allergies at check-in.

Who can pick up my kiddo?

Only the adults you list at check-in, with a photo ID. Pickup is 8:30–9:00, and it's $1 per minute after 9:00.

What if it's sold out?

We cap every night at 50 kiddos. If it's full, tap Notify Me on the registration page and we'll let you know if a spot opens.

Will you post photos of my kiddo?

We never post kiddos' faces on public pages. Photos from the night go to our private parent Facebook group only.

Can my 4-year-old or 17-year-old come?

The main event is for ages 5–12, and the Teen Cave is for 13–16. Those are the only age groups we staff for.

See you Sat, Dec 5

This month: PJ Party. 50 spots, and the first visit is free for new families.
