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.
