YOUTH SPORTS PERFORMANCE
YMCA 360 is offering a program for young athletes to help develop overall athleticism and reduce injuries. Use these at-home drills to help take your skills to the next level.
Gymnastics USA is providing a beginner, intermediate, advanced, and competitive home learning program! The goal at Gymnastics USA is to provide their clients with an outstanding athletic experience. They would like to share the gymnastics principles of individual reliance, hard work, and positive thinking.
It is a special space you can create a t home where children can go to find inspiration or work through their challenges. It is a powerful tool for learning and practicing growth mindset and other key skills like problem=solving and goal setting.
A Growth Mindset Corner can be tailored to meet every child's need an preferences. Get them on board and let them help design and put the corner together. When children take ownership, they are more invested in making it a place they want to use versus a space they have to use.
