What questions should be asked when creating a charter?

Answer 1

The questions to ask are: 1) What’s needed in my plan for safely implementing intensity? 2) What is the baseline level of information and movement experience I expect athletes to have once they start group classes? 3) How will I use this charter to help more experienced athletes improve their health and fitness?
