About This Activity
Activity Organizer: Amazing Athletes Email: southbay@amazingathletes.com Dates: Thursdays Grades: K-1 Cost: $550 Description: Amazing Athletes PE is a multi-sports program designed to engage children in game-based, interactive sports lessons and physical fitness challenges. Our program is fun, high-energy and non-competitive, promoting teamwork and lifetime connections to sports and physical activity. We introduce the fundamentals of up to 10 different sports (Basketball, Football, Soccer, Volleyball, Track, Baseball, Lacrosse, Tennis, Hockey and Golf) in each session. We typically focus on one or two sports in each class so every week is different (vs. one long session of 1 sport at a time), learning and practicing the basic fundamentals of these sports. In addition to the sports we cover a large muscle group each week - introduce the muscle, where is it, what does it do? Do a little exercise to learn how that muscle works in our bodies. We focus on a specific motor skill in each lesson (catching, throwing, kicking, balancing, running, jumping) and introduce very basic nutrition with foam super power foods to learn about fruits and vegetables and their "super powers" (Vit K, Folates, Vit A, Vit C, Fiber) and why they're good for our bodies (Fiber gives us a healthy heart, Vit A helps us to see in the dark, etc). We start each lesson with some warm-up exercises and an obstacle course and wrap up with a fun game and some relaxing / balancing / stretching moves. Required Material: Comfortable athletic shoes are required.
