Cognitive Kinetics Hawai’i - The leading movement education program for growing athletes in Hawaii.
We develop your child’s balance, coordination, agility, and confidence using research-based training that teaches real movement skills—not just drills.
At Cognitive Kinetics Hawai’i, we blend the Aloha Spirit with scientific precision - creating a learning environment that is both fun and foundational. We emphasize encouragement, progress tracking, and positive reinforcement to keep young athletes engaged and excited about improvement.
Whether your child is new to sports or chasing a scholarship dream, our team is here to help them build the athletic foundation they need to thrive. Cognitive Kinetics Hawai’i programs are grounded in motor learning and neuroscience research.

What We Offer
We teach kids how to move properly using the Movement Education Framework. Our training improves coordination, reaction time, and overall athletic performance for ages 5–13.
Training Levels
Level 1 (Ages 5–7): Fundamentals of movement
Level 2 (Ages 8–10): Skill refinement & control
Level 3 (Ages 11–13): Advanced mechanics & athletic prep
Our training levels are group kids by age to match their stage of physical development, but progression isn’t based on age alone. Each child is assessed on their motor skills, balance, coordination, agility and body control. If a child demonstrates advanced ability, they may move up to the next level early—ensuring every athlete is challenged appropriately and continues to grow.

Movement Assessments? (How They Work)
Every athlete begins with a quick, movement assessment to identify their current motor skills. We use simple, guided tasks to see how they move, how they react, and what fundamentals they’ve already developed.
This helps us determine the right training level and build a plan that meets your child where they are. As they train, we track their progress so parents can see real improvements over time.
