Then join us at SMART FUNdamentals! Designed and delivered by SPG’s national experts in athletic movement and youth sport, this cutting edge program takes the key movement patterns of sports and uses fun games and exercises to improve speed, movement, agility and reaction on the field or court. Your child will develop the ability to: accelerate and cut in any direction, react quickly to and dodge other players, move effectively in any direction from laterally to backwards, respond quickly to the ball, and stay balanced and stable throughout so that they are less likely to get hurt. We always emphasize great technique and ensure that every kid is challenged, encouraged to improve and receives individual feedback. Kids love SMART because its fun, they never stand in line, and they can see & feel how much they are improving each session. SMART also provides kids with the opportunity to experience our unique coaching environment which develops high quality motivation, problem solving, persistence, high self-esteem and confidence. These key mental skills are also developed in the SMART Log Book that every SMART kid receives and helps them track their progress over the course. We hope to see you there!
