Activity Details
Monday & Friday: Survey of Sports. Every 4-5 weeks we introduce a new sport for athletes to get a taste without families having to make a huge commitment with leagues. Kids have learned the basics of traditional sports like basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccer and the like as well as not so mainstream sports like skateboarding, darts, juggling, dodgeball, gaga ball and even the art of obstacle course racing!
Tuesday & Thursday: Fitness Class. Athletes participate in a fitness class specifically programmed for them! We aren’t scaling down adult movements, we are meeting kids where they are and providing skill and movement work to help them grown stronger, develop propriioception and support the development of their physical literacy. Class is an hour with a warm up, skill, workout and cooldown/game. The kids love it and are developing a lifelong love of fitness in the process
Wednesday:
Community Building. On Wednesdays, athletes get to know their community. We take trips around the community and stop by local businesses, talk with the fire department and police officers, as well as the staff at our favorite parks. The kids learn what it takes to keep the community going and they find their place. It’s a great day of reflection and fun!
