School Day Programs
Our Program Approach
- Small group instruction to encourage participation (i.e. small-sided games of 6-8 students to maximize ball touches and interaction);
- Team building activities that promote teamwork, inclusion, cooperation, and communication;
- Other interactive fitness, and recreational activities that get kids moving while promoting the importance of physical activity;
- Consistent messaging throughout the program that reinforces positive behaviors
- Build positive mentor-mentee, or coach-player, relationships by providing positive messaging and support to all participants;
- Offer clear and concise instructions to ensure safety and fun for all;
- Promote confidence & self-esteem for children, regardless of skill level; and
- Express enthusiasm and passion for materials and activities, sports, and fitness.
