## Tagline

Building Strong Kids with Strong Character.

## What it is (and isn't)

Mind Your P's & Q's is **not** a military bootcamp. It is a youth coaching program led by championship-level coaches. Days are hard but positive. Kids work hard, have fun, and want to come back. The standard is real; the energy is championship-team — never drill-sergeant.

## The 4 Pillars

Every P's & Q's Day is built on four pillars, with 2–3 activities each:

1. **Discipline** — show up and do the work (formation challenge, sand-circuit stations).
2. **Confidence** — walk in unsure, leave unstoppable (fearless challenge, confidence circle).
3. **Mental Toughness** — push past the quit point (beach survivor relay, toughness circuit).
4. **Leadership** — lead the squad, not just yourself (team captain challenge, beach cleanup service).

Each Day closes with a Championship Challenge where kids finish together as one team.

## Program: The P's & Q's Day

- **Format**: One full day on Del Mar Beach — 6 hours — held on Sundays.
- **Ages**: 6–12
- **Price**: $200 per day. Lunch and all training gear included.
- **First Day**: Sunday, July 19, 2026. Enrollment open now.
- **Ratio**: 1 coach : 8 kids.
- **Guarantees**: First-Day refund if your kid hates it; Beat-Your-Baseline guarantee (beat your start-of-day numbers by sundown or your next Day is free).

## Belt, rank & prize system (the come-back loop)

Like martial arts, kids earn a colored band for each milestone of Days completed — each with a real prize:

- **White band (Rookie)** — 1 Day — a booster pack (Pokémon or football/baseball cards)
- **Blue band (Starter)** — 3 Days — pick of the prize box
- **Green band (Captain)** — 6 Days — official P's & Q's jersey + cap
- **Gold band (MVP)** — 10 Days — duffel, champion medal & action-photo pack
- **Black band (Champion)** — 15 Days — the black headband + the Champions Trip with fellow Champions

Bands are earned, never given — by effort across all four pillars.
