Our action-packed curriculum is endorsed by early childhood expert, Bonnie Bruce, who reviews each element of our program to ensure our Amazing Athletes get every possible advantage. Our programs show kids just how much fun fitness can be! During our weekly classes, children learn the importance of patience, teamwork, and self-confidence in a non-competitive, learning-based environment that fosters a love of healthy living. Their excitement for structured physical activity promotes advancements and advantages that keep children on the path to personal well-being. Motor and Life Skills: Extensive research shows that structured physical activity in children not only promotes better physical health, but also boosts brainpower and assists in the development of important social skills and character traits including sharing, empathy, focus, dedication, commitment, and drive. Our non-competitive group classes let children build confidence in a safe and fun environment while also building teamwork and good sportsmanship. Through our structured active play, Amazing Athletes advance 6 different motor skills: Balancing | Running | Jumping| Throwing| Catching | Kicking Sports Introduction: Our fun, active classes encourage kids to explore and develop a variety of athletic skills through the introduction of 10 different sports. Coaches break the fundamental of each sport down into simple steps based on each child’s age and ability. The goal is to create a fun environment that establishes lifetime connections to sports and physical activity. Starter Nutrition: To keep healthy and active, our bodies need the right kind of fuel. Studies show it can take up to 15 or 20 introductions of any one food item before children will be willing to try or accept the new food. The Amazing Athletes nutrition program introduces the children to 16 different fruits and vegetables as well as important vitamins and minerals so that they go home excited about trying new, healthy foods. Body Awareness: Strength training keeps children and adults physically healthy and prevents the risk of osteoporosis and other bone-threatening conditions as we age. We teach children to name and identify 10 major muscles key to maintaining good gross-motor movement and body wellness.

Our coaches work with each child to help them strive for their personal best. Each 45-60 minute class engages athletes in non-competitive, sport-specific training for focused development. Athletes work in pairs to develop teamwork, motor skills, and patience. Teamwork Activities: Amazing Athletes P.E. promotes skill-based learning and non-competitive play so that each athlete has the confidence to learn and engage. Children engage in introductory partner-based skill activities which help to advance teamwork. Our strength training activity is always done in pairs. Our fitness challenge relay at the end of class is also always done as a team. We provide our athletes with as many opportunities as possible to develop teamwork, friendships, and advance their social skills in addition to the athletic and academic advancements of the program. Advanced Fitness Challenge: Cardiovascular diseases are the #1 cause of death worldwide, including a number of premature and preventable conditions. Amazing Athletes P.E. keeps kids active and engaged with advanced stretching and conditioning activities that increase cardiovascular endurance for better heart health. All conditioning activities are completed as a group. Our coaches are trained to include breaks as needed to allow every child to participate in whatever their fitness level or independent needs. Introductory Strength Training: Strength training conditions the body to handle the requirements of physical activities, making it a crucial part of any sports training or fitness regimen. Weightlifting builds stronger bones and muscles to help protect against osteoporosis and maintain good gross-motor movements. Amazing Athletes P.E. introduces children to strength training using age-appropriate weights, partner-based exercises, and education on the 10 major muscles.
