A great introduction to soccer! Activities are age-appropriate, and aim to improve children’s gross motor skills. Similarly, the program demonstrates the value of teamwork and communication. The goal is simple: to leave a lasting and positive impact on every child served.
This program will run at two different times for PreK-2nd grade, and grades 3-5. Children are taught two variations of hip-hop, Urban, and House. Above all, children learn rhythm and movement while having fun! A small class recital is held in December.
Available for two age groups:
-
- Amazing Athletes (PreK-2nd grade): year-round developmental physical fitness program. Designed to empower children to reach developmental milestones at their own pace. Similarly, children learn the importance of patience, teamwork, and self-confidence. The environment is non-competitive and learning-based.
- Training Academy (Grades 3-5): A game-based sports program designed to engage older children in physical activity and wellness. Children are encouraged and inspired to do their personal best.
