What is Cooking Club?

Cooking Club is a hands-on, interactive experience where athletes will:

• 🥗 Learn basic cooking skills and kitchen safety

• 🍴 Practice simple, healthy recipes

• 🛒 Build confidence

• 🤝 Connect with friends in a fun, relaxed setting

• 😋 Enjoy eating what we create together!

No experience is needed — just come ready to learn and have fun!

Who Can Join?

Open to all SOMO KC Metro athletes who want to:

• Try something new

• Build independence

• Have fun in a social, supportive space

• Gain real-life skills they can use at home

Why Cooking Club?

Cooking is more than just food — it’s independence, confidence, teamwork, and creativity. This club supports healthy living while helping athletes grow skills they can use every day.

👩‍🍳 Registration & Participation Details

To keep the experience hands-on and personalized, Cooking Club is limited to 10 athletes per month.

• Once all 10 spots are filled, you may request to be added to a waiting list.

• Each month, a new sign-up will open for the following month’s class.

• Our goal is to give as many athletes as possible the opportunity to participate.

If an athlete has participated in several classes in a row and another athlete has not yet had the opportunity to try Cooking Club, we may reach out and ask that a returning participant allow their spot to be offered to someone new. We appreciate your understanding as we work to make this club accessible and fair for everyone.

We cannot wait to get started in March!
