NEW Class Offering @ AYS!

Cupcake Creations:

Calling all middle school bakers! Join us in this fun partner class as we pipe, spread and sprinkle to a different theme every week! For the first time ever AYS is opening it's doors to middle schoolers and their younger elementary aged sibling (grades 1-5). Don't have a younger sibling? Bring along a younger cousin, friend, or neighbor! Each participant must have their own registration. This class is open to four teams for a maximum of 8 kids in total. Let's get baking!

ATHLETIC EVOLUTION

Check out our new programs with Athletic Evolution. Train and develop your skills and athleticism with the following programs:

The C.R.E.E.D. (Courage, Respect, Energy, Enthusiasm, Discipline)

The program is a holistic strength and conditioning program designed for youth athletes to assist in their mental and physical wellbeing. This program incorporates mental components from Karate and MMA disciplines including Bushido, the way of the warrior, into athletic performance and sport settings to help kids of all ages build self-confidence, creates a healthy mental and emotional environment, and builds important character traits that will serve each kid for the rest of their lives in any school, career, or sports' setting they encounter moving forward.

Linear Speed Development

Speed is king! No matter what sport you play, getting faster is most likely a prerequisite for improvement. This program will not only set the building blocks for proper running mechanics, but it will also increase speed and decrease injury risk as a result. Athletes will be tested regularly so results may be tracked with the program focusing on improving mechanics, strength, and power as they relate to linear speed development.

Athletic Performance Training

This program would be more of your traditional Strength and Conditioning Program. Based on age and skill this program will include functional training (bodyweight), resistance training (free weights, cable), plyometrics, change of direction/agility, conditioning, mobility, core, and injury prevention. The primary goal of this program is to increase athletic performance and decrease the risk of injury in a fun, learning environment that builds self-confidence and teaches athletes the fundamentals they need to be successful in any weight room. This program is complimented nicely by our Linear Speed Development Program.
