Drills and activities will get kids focused on the fundamentals that make athletes great. In addition, the sports camp creates a positive and encouraging environment that builds their confidence and self-esteem. Between sports sessions, coaches lead in songs, tell stories, and do cool object lessons that help character-building themes like teamwork, endurance, and sacrifice, take hold in kid's hearts. "We want to give kids the chance to learn more about sports, discover character-building concepts, and have a whole lot of fun!"
