Class Pathway & Medals
We have a wide variety of classes for children of all ages and abilities at Flics. We work on a progression system in line with our Flics medals awards which acts as a guide for where your child will fit into each class.
Below shows an example pathway of how your child could progress through our classes, and the skills that are required to pass each level.
