Description

ages 3 S to 5 S years Through games and instruction, Players continue to develop fundamental motor skills - as well as introductory sport skills, coordination and agility - all while having a lot of fun! To the kids, it's all fun and games. But behind the fun is a carefully crafted curriculum of progressive motor skill acquisition that helps children reach their full physical potential. Program Overview These are important transitional years for children: becoming ready for independent classes and moving from foundational motor skills into more complex, multistep sport skills. Our LM classes are fun, structured and instructional classes, during which we teach two skills per class and incorporate them into creative games to keep the Player's excited throughout. The skills we teach go " way beyond gymnastics ." Motor skill development includes activities such as climbing, obstacle courses, balancing, and tumbling. Introductory sport skills include swinging a bat, kicking a ball, throwing, shooting, dribbling, and much more. We teach these skills and then explore and apply them through group games, which allow everyone to be a winner, and individual games supported by our Interactive Arena™ . Players build a strong foundation, with the confidence and skills to be physically and athletically successful. Class Flow Different creative activities are used in every class, but the structured flow of the class remains the same. This consistent flow makes each class comfortable and familiar, and the different activities develop a full range of skills. Free play time at the start of class includes a number of stations that reinforce skills through play. We then have circle time, with introductions, singing and some warm up activities to get ready for the class. Next we move into two skill development segments: We quickly teach a skill then turn practice into play with one of our hundreds of innovative games. This form of "directed play" makes the process of building muscle memory for a new skill a lot of fun. Additional free play time is sandwiched between the skills, and includes stations focusing on stability and recently developed skills. Then we close with a song.
