Create Your Own All Star Sports Instruction Class
Beginning in September | Ages 3-9
Do you have a group of kids who want to play sports together? Create your own All Star Sports Instruction class by requesting a day and time during the week. Classes will be divided into age groups of 3-6 years and 6-9 years, and are 1 hour long. Each session will run for 6 weeks. Choose from Jr. Soccer, Jr. Golf, Jr. T-Ball, Jr. Flag Football or Multi-Sports.
Why I chose this program:
This program was created to give parents the flexibility to create a class that works with their schedule and choose the sport the kids want to play! It is required to have the group of kids set (minimum of 6), prior to requesting your class.
