What makes us unique
MULTI-SPORT
Each session includes introductory skill learning for multiple sports followed by fun games where the young athletes get to practice the skills they have just learned.
High School Athletes as Role Models
Our high school athletes have been nominated by their schools for their leadership on the playing field and in the classroom. They lead each of the stations and Be Kind Time and give our young athletes positive role models to look up to within our community.
Be Kind Time
Each session includes Be Kind Time where our high school athletes talk to the young athletes about the importance of being a good teammate, including others, the importance of sportsmanship whether you win or lose and more.
Exercise and movement
Each session also includes our kid-favorite obstacle course station and a coordination and agility station where the young athletes maneuver through cones, ladders and hurdles and play fun games that focus on different types of movements.
OUR GOAL
Our goal is to provide an innovative multi-sport program that focuses on teaching young people fundamental skills, while emphasizing the positive values gained through athletics and building a future generation of leaders and role models in the community.
