My Child Has ADD/ADHD, Will This Afterschool Program Work for Them?
Absolutely. While there’s no ‘cure’ for ADD/ADHD, there are things that help. One of them is exercise. When kids with ADD/ADHD have too much bottled up energy, it makes everything worse. That’s why we kick off every session with fun & games that get your child moving and burning energy. The games are also designed to build focus & concentration.
My Child Is Not Athletic. Will They Feel Left Out?
Not at all! We encourage every child to do what they can. No child is ever made to feel bad for their level of athleticism. This isn’t a team sport or anything – it’s afterschool fun & focus.
