Through progressive drills, movement training, and game-speed athletic development, students will improve coordination, balance, acceleration, deceleration, and overall movement efficiency. Sessions are designed to help teen athletes in any sport who want to move faster, react quicker, and build confidence in their athletic performance. The second part of the class will be various active games such as soccer, tag, dodgeball, 4-square, and more. Be ready to have fun, be challenged and sweat! | |||||||
