Learning proper mechanics and footwork early can make a huge difference as the athletes grow. The trained and dedicated All Star Staff have the patience and know how to motivate and communicate with the young players. Junior programs are designed to keep everyone actively moving, thinking, having fun, and a positive experience. Drills are hidden in games and terminology that kids can understand. Learning about teamwork and sportsmanship is a large part of each program. Junior programs include a participation award. The skills program is the next level to athletic training and is coached by a certified All Star sport specific trainer. A speed and agility component is powered by Ethos 360 Performance Training. Our goal is to add layers to each athlete's basic foundation coached at the Junior Level to further advance their knowledge and enhance their skill set so that they can compete for travel, club level, or High School positions. Each session includes 10-15 minutes of athletic conditioning with sport specific drills that will be modified according to each child's age or ability. Athletes will learn to compete and handle the pressures of competition by being introduced to game and performance situations. Class size will vary per each sport, but will be set with a lower participant to coach ratio than Junior Programs to enable small group and one on one instruction. Trainers will work together witrh parents and encourage the young athletes to continue training at home by assigning "Athletic Homework" to help reinforce healthy habits. **Click on the Item Details Button for specific class description
