Our Staff

ABOUT OUR STAFF

We believe that the greatest strength of our program is our teachers. Our teachers have a genuine love for children, as well as a thorough understanding of early and adolescent childhood development. Each of us is here to help your child grow and learn, and we do that through the fun and challenging activities we offer each week. 

Research indicates that the primary reason children participate in sports is to have fun. The number one reason they quit is because it is not fun anymore. Our teachers understand this concept and are committed to creating a positive, fun, learning environment in every class.
