Start Smart Programs

2026 Information

The Start Smart program teaches children the basic motor skills necessary to play organized sports while they work one-on-one and spend quality time with their parents. The program focuses on teaching children and their parents basic skills in throwing, passing/catching, kicking, and batting without the threat of competition or the fear of getting hurt. Held once a week for 6 weeks, and each week the exercises become increasingly more difficult as the class progresses and the children show improvement. Each participant will receive a shirt and a related prize at the end of the program. Space is limited so sign up early!
