Each session is conducted in a spirit of fun with a holistic approach. Lessons are developed to reinforce curriculum from preschool. This includes patterns, colors, shapes, opposites, etc. Each session has an overriding principle of developing impulse control and compassion for others. These principles will guide young people throughout their lives. Players remain on task at all times with the elimination of lines and lectures

The Four Main Parts of Each Session

Aerobic and Anaerobic Activities- develops body awareness agility, balance, range of motion and basic movement skills. These qualities can be transferred to any sport involving movement.

Ball Manipulation- develops a comfort level with the ball in a fun challenging method.

Imaginary Activities- puts ball manipulation into action with targets or desired individual outcomes.

Game- puts players in a position to attack a goal while defending a goal. Usually done in a 1v1 format.
