Do your kids play only one sport all year?  Are your children suffering from sports-related injuries?  Is your child unmotivated when it comes to exercise?

Learn strategies to keep your child active and safe for a lifetime of sports participation.  Studies show that early specialization in sports may be a major cause of overuse injuries in young children.  Learn why:

  • One sport too soon can take your child out of the game early
  • The youth of America are suffering from delayed motor development
  • Kids choose video games over outdoor games
  • Sometimes the best sport is play-organized chaos vs. organized sports

All seminars may be lengthened or shortened to meet your specific needs.


You don't have to be a coach to help your child in sports!

Research indicates that children that specialize in competitive sports too soon may lack the exposure to many gross motor activities that would enhance balance, coordination, timing and speed.  Many of these qualities can be developed through scientifically designed "play" that will serve to:

  • Improve a child's motivation to exercise
  • Reduce the chance of injury during sports participation
  • Improve overall coordination and athletic ability
  • Improve physical and mental discipline

 This 2-hour, dynamic seminar is presented in a lecture/lab format which includes the following:


Lecture
- How to identify major demotivators of physical activity in children
- How to plan fun and enriching movement training experiences for children
- How to plan innovative programs on a small budget
 
Lab (Exercise session)
Participants will have the opportunity to explore a variety of movement activities utilizing:
- Medicine balls
- Swiss balls
- Hurdles and cones
- Body weight dumbbells and more!
