alpha athletes: Adapted programs

Jam HOPE Foundation is housed in Jam Hops, Blaine-Ham Lake and was created to expand our inclusive opportunities in programs and events! The Alpha Athletes program provides adaptive and supportive classes for children and teens with disabilities. This program allows youth with disabilities to participate in and get the most out of our recreational classes in a group setting, or as an individual. After an Intake Form has been filled out, our staff works with guardians to help find a class that best suits their Alpha Athlete. By providing an opportunity for each child to experience success, we are able to build self-confident, productive children who will become LIFE CHAMPIONS!

Movement has many benefits for emotional, cognitive, social, and physical needs. Although Alpha Athletes may do gymnastics or dance in a more modified approach, they have the same aspirations for development and growth. These classes will also help increase physical strength, gross and fine motor skills, social skills, and self-confidence.

To begin the registration process for an Alpha Athlete class, please fill out the intake form below so we can best support your athlete. Thank you!

Parent/guardian(s) welcome to participate with their child at no charge.
Parent(s)/guardians and children not currently enrolled in other programs through Jam HOPE or Jam Hops must have an annual signed waiver to participate.

Tuition is billed and payments are processed at the time of registration, and the first of each month for ongoing enrollment. If there is room in a class after class start date, tuition will be prorated based on number of classes left in the month at time of enrollment.

Withdrawal & Class Changes: If your child needs to withdraw, please visit www.jamhops.com/contactus to fill out an un-enrollment request form. If a class is dropped before the 1st of the month, the account will not be billed for enrollment for that or subsequent months. Account credit may be issued for remaining classes during the month at the time of withdrawal depending on circumstance.

Please note that due to the nature of the specialized Alpha Athletes program and increased instructional support needs, we do not offer multiple class or sibling discounts for these classes.

We offer a $30 referral incentive for any new students that you refer to Jam Hops who enroll in one or more of our programs just tell them to mention your name when they contact us.

Participants should wear clothes they are comfortable to be active in; no buckles, snaps, or zippers for safety for movement and gymnastics classes.

We ask that a parent or guardian stays in the building during Alpha Athlete classes. All gymnasts must be picked up at the class ending time.
