We discovered SMCA during lockdown and it has been a great experience for our nine year old son. We have had some very good instructors who are totally hands on and child friendly. They ensure that every child is kept engaged and interested throughout the class though it’s a group class. There is a sincere effort on the part of the coaches to keep the child in the game.
