Start Smart Sports
The Start Smart Sports Development Program is a proven instructional program that prepares children (ages 3-5) for the world of organized sports without the threat of competition or the fear of getting hurt. Parents work together with their children in a supportive environment to learn basic skills such as throwing, catching, kicking, and batting. Held once a week for 6 weeks, with the exercises becoming increasingly difficult as the class progresses and children show improvement. Sports reviewed will be baseball/softball, basketball, soccer, and overall body movement.
