Some Fast Facts About Us

• First and foremost, we offer courses designed to improve the overall fitness of kids. We have focused our expertise and enthusiasm on specific techniques & exercises designed to help motivated kids develop their running technique and speed, coordination and dynamic balance, and core strength and limb-girdle explosiveness.

• Though some of our trainers have a medical background & training, we unfortunately cannot offer specialized physical or occupational therapy for differently-abled children.

• We currently offer courses only for 6-15 year olds. However, we anticipate a community demand for courses designed for older children. As our resources grow we expect to create training courses suitable for older children & young adults.

• Our courses run in 6 to 8 week blocks, all year round, and are offered through Lakeland’s division of community learning.

• The cost varies by course, and ranges between $5 and $10 per week.

• All money collected goes toward operating costs, and purchasing new equipment for the kids. That’s right, all our adult trainers are volunteers!

• We believe strongly in keeping our activities for the kids vigorous and fun! We want children to believe in themselves as young athletes, and we realize the powerful value of encouragement. As such, our efforts are summed up by this affirmation for our youth participants:


I Can. I Will. I Am.
