SPORTS PLUS is pleased to announce an expansion of its new program offering. In response to your requests, we will offer an innovative program that focuses on fitness and related training techniques and track and field events. The class is specifically designed for children between the ages of 5 and 21. It will provide a memorable, fun, and exciting program both for beginners and for those with prior experience.

The classes have been specifically devised by experienced runners and trainers and will focus on a variety of elements. The classes will be lead by subject area experts and by veteran SPORTS PLUS staff members. Each class will begin with the whole group working on various speed, agility, plyometric, quickness and fitness drills. The goal of the drills is to improve body awareness, mechanics, performance and fitness levels. The classes will then be broken into small groups where we will learn and focus on a variety of track and field events. We will establish a base level in each event for each child and then track their individual improvement as the season progresses. The season will conclude with a mini-Olympics and medal ceremony. As always, this SPORTS PLUS program will feature unique skill development techniques, highly trained coaches, special education professionals, consistent encouragement and positive reinforcement. Fun, teamwork, social skills and sportsmanship are stressed at all classes. Participant to coach ratios are maintained at no higher than 3 to 1. Participation of typically developing siblings in each class is encouraged to allow siblings to play together and act as role models. The SPORTS PLUS model permits extra help or additional challenge to be provided as needed to participants with a wide variety of skills. The end result is a successful, re-warding and exciting physical and social experience for children and their families.

Class space is limited so you are encouraged to register immediately. If you have any questions or need more information you may contact the SPORTS PLUS program at (301)452-3781 or by e-mail at info@playsportsplus.org.
