For those who are local, we have a sports day every Thursday, mentored by me and my husband, who both love sports! We divide up into age groups and interests and sometimes have to be downright spontaneous when we have a flood of new people :).
Benefits?
-team sports experience in a supportive environment
-learn good sportmanship
-learn proper warm-up and stretching techniques
-bond with people of many ages
-mentoring on techniques while having fun!
We were noticing this last week as we played ultimate frisbee how well the youth were doing who have been coming almost every week.
We are currently starting at an LDS church off of Highway 89 in Fruit Heights just a little north of Green Road (you can see it from Highway 89) with warm-ups and dodgeball. After about 15-20 minutes of this, often an "older group" will split off and go to Nichol's Park to play ultimate frisbee, soccer, or football while the "younger group" stays to play dodgeball and other indoor games. The kids decide for themselves where they go and parental supervision is required unless other arrangements are made with us. We often have older kids stay to play indoors and younger ones go to play ultimate frisbee or soccer, so the line dividing the two is very loose :).
Every Thursday 4-5 pm. Email me at biesingerm@gmail.com if you want to be on our list.
