Sports Plus helps children, teens and young adults realize their potential. Our programs are positive, successful places to learn sports, fitness and social skills. Each class has a player to coach ratio of no higher than four to one, with swim classes being one to one. Our curriculum is derived from thousands of hours of experience and research by a team of special educators, therapists, trainers, parents and coaches. It is ever changing and evolving.  

For teens and young adults who have spent significant time in Sports Plus programs, our unique Teen & Young Adult Social Program takes place monthly, with a variety of different activities and locations.

    SPORTS PLUS is a non-profit organization that offers  uniquely structured programs for participants ages 5 to 26, with autism spectrum disorders, ADD/ADHD and other developmental disabilities.

    The SPORTS PLUS swim program features a blend of traditional and unique skill development techniques, carried out by experienced instructors and their assistants who are backed by special education professionals.

    SPORTS PLUS offers one-on-one private lessons. Also upon approval, we offer a one hour swim team for those that are ready for a more endurance based practice.

    Our staff is fully capable of accommodating participants with a wide variety of swimming skill levels. Whether the initial goal for your child is comfort and safety in the water, acquiring basic swimming skills, stroke technique and improvement or swim team training, SPORTS PLUS has a class for you! Fun, proper technique, social skills and safety are stressed at all classes.

    Each class features customized instruction that is designed to be enjoyable and successful for all participants.  Typical siblings are also encouraged to enroll. The end result is a safe, successful, rewarding and exciting physical and social experience for participants and their families.

    Please note that not all registrations may be accepted. Staffing is the driving factor. We are working very hard to accommodate all families. Thank you for your understanding.
