Pre-Schools

For preschool kids, our goal is to give them the confidence and basic movement and sports skills to be ready for a team sport or just the playground in elementary school.  The love of moving and playing sports is what we try to give all children we are lucky enough to teach.

In a Movement Madness preschool class, we want the kids to learn and feel successful.  We provide them with a ½ hour of movement and sport skills. 

Class always begins with a cardio game where all kids are moving and having fun.  Then, we move to a sport skill where the kids are learning one or more specific skill, as well as taking turns and standing in a short line. We end with a fun game or relay where they put some of their new skills to use. 

Preschool aged kids (3-5) are a great age to start learning the basic skills needed to play sports. These skills include throwing, catching, kicking, skipping, and galloping, while learning to stand in a line, take turns, follow simple instructions or rules and understand how to be a good teammate. 

Starting preschool kids in organized sports too early provides frustration to not only the kids but parents as well.   Learning these basic skills before introducing them to a team sport can provide them with much greater success and less frustration.  

Sport classes for kids this age should:

• always be fun  

• provide fun instruction on basic skills 

• provide the preschool child with the sport skills they need to move to team sports

• should not be about winning or losing
