Parents can help their children become active movers and sucessful participants.

When parents ask their children how their day was, they often forget to ask about physical education. Although physical education may not be as academic as reading or mathematics, it can be a source for excitement or frustration in a child's day. In either case, physical education is part of the educational curriculum and should be a part of daily conversation and practice at home. Studies show that active children are healthier, have better attention and are more likely to grow to be healthy active adults. Practice, practice, practice! Studies also show that practice of anything mental or physical develops both mental and physical memory and in turn, generates learning and success. Whether it be math or golf, the more practice the more proficient.  Our physical education classes will introduce your child to a wide variety of physical activities - not just sport. Our goal is to excite children to become movers as they grow up. As in learning, children will develop motor skills at different developmental rates as they grow. The idea that we introduce a wide variety of activities at a variety of activity levels encourages the success of all children.

We invite you as parents to help your child's developmental process as well:

1.  Encourage outdoor play everyday - even if it lasts only 20 minutes.

2.  Go outside with your child every week and enjoy moving with them. Studies show that children are likely to "do as you

      do" more often than they are to "do as you say do".

3. Try a variety of activities, especially if your child does not enjoy being active. Traditional sports, while they have many

     attributes, are not the only physical activities a child can do. Hiking, biking, skating, and swimming are just a few other

     activities your child may enjoy.

4. If your child is resistive to physical activity consider; what, where, and with whom your child is being active. For example;

    some neighborhoods have bullies that are discouraging, or swimming in salt water stings their eyes ... try a pool, roller

    blading outside is too hot ... try an ice rink. The goal is activity. The statistics support everything else.
