safe, fun and structured environment.
All games and activities will encompass
hand-eye coordination, balance, agility
and movement -all key factors to the
early development of children in sport.
In addition to having a great time playing
the different sports, children will develop
social interaction and communication
skills. All sports are developed through a
series of games and activities designed to
ensure learning and most importantly:
fun, fun, fun! Instruction provided by
US Sports Institute.
