GRADES 5-8+ PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Two main focuses: Formal Sports Instruction and Learning to Train. Student-athletes will focus on one sport to develop sport-specific skill application, decision making and tactical awareness before advancing to a formal sport setting. This educational approach helps develop physically literate students who will have the skills they need to be ‘active for life’. Our Learn to Train will disguise fundamental movements and training exercises in games and activities. Student-athletes will have the opportunity to develop proper exercise techniques as they progress towards more formal training practices.
