Self-Manager Program (Ages 9–12)

HFAC’s Self Manager program helps young members build independence, responsibility, and confidence throughout the club. Designed for kids ages 9-12, this program introduces club policies, teaches respectful facility use, and encourages self-directed activity. To become a Self Manager, both the Jr. Member and a parent/guardian must attend a Self Manager class together and pass a short multiple-choice and short-answer test. Once completed, the Jr. Member earns a green wristband and Self Manager status is added to their account for easy check-in. Self Manager Privileges:

Run on the track independently
Use the basketball and squash courts independently, including checking out equipment from the front desk
Participate in climbing during Open Climb hours with a belayer present
Use the lobby and café areas respectfully for activities like watching TV or doing homework
Charge items to their membership account (primary account holder is responsible for all charges)

Self Manager Policies:

A parent or guardian must attend the Self Manager class with their child, as they play a key role in reinforcing club rules and expectations.
A parent/guardian must check in with the Self Manager at the front desk and remain on HFAC property while their child is using the facilities.
Self Managers are expected to behave respectfully and responsibly at all times. Misuse of privileges may result in suspension of Self Manager status.
The club cannot mediate disputes between family members over account charges.
