As we approach the end of the year, many families take this time to reflect on achievements, lessons learned, relationships strengthened, and goals achieved. In the United States, the month of November is especially meaningful due to Thanksgiving, a holiday dedicated to gratitude, unity, and the celebration of the people who walk alongside us.
At Athlas Training Team, gratitude is part of our culture.
This year, our community grew stronger — on the mats and beyond them. We are deeply thankful to all students, parents, and families who remained loyal, trusting in our work, our methodology, and our commitment to shaping athletes and individuals grounded in discipline, respect, and character.
As we close this season, we are proud of what we built together. To support everyone in planning ahead, we are pleased to share our official End of the Year Schedule.
