My 2 boys attend Silverbacks and every week they look forward to it so much! Both Paul and Donna have so much patience with the younger ones and teach all techniques in a child friendly easy to learn manner whilst making it fun also! Since the new year there is also an extra weekly class which will be really beneficial to their progress. As parents both me and the boys dad are really happy we came across silverbacks. 🦍
