Preparatory Division (ages 9-14)

Level III and IV Boys

KCBS has dedicated Boys’/Men’s classes to ensure that they receive training specific to their needs. Level III and IV Boys will attend some classes separately from the girls with a different schedule.

Boys’ Level III and IV classes will take place at our Bolender Center Campus and our South Campus. Space is limited, and will be filled on a first come first serve basis. Please read through the KCBS Health and Safety Protocols for more information on the steps we are taking to keep students safe and healthy.
