Bracket
As kids move into 8-12 years of age more independent know how and comprehension generally starts to develop.
This age dynamic becomes more fluid and natural in general and more complex game/sport play movements.
This age group will participate more in team and group exercises than younger groups as they are more advanced.
Proactive and positive reinforcement on what they learn, along with repetition of learning really enabled them to confidently participate and be part of the group.

Individualized & Group Focus
Our program includes:
- Independent, instructor-student with keener focus on individual and team-group activities that delivers greater understanding of more advanced skills to the game, the desire to participate, and advancement through the learning of combining all previous skills together into one
- Learning approaches that adapt to each child and incorporate their strengths and interests including capabilities
- Ball activities that supports passing and ball movement to one another and off walls with accuracy by target use and incorporating speed, trajectory and distance understanding
- Continued Confidence-building through 2-4-U program (working with one partner at a time)
- Advancing on communication in sport by calling out before throwing or kicking a ball to a partner and on the other side calling out to make the other aware of where you are
Mighty Ballers Specifics
Children at this point in life, between 8-12, can definately vary in maturity, size and coordination. We try to incorporate all levels into exercises by teaming up weaker and stronger and so on. This method equips the children with tools of understanding, how to work together regardless of who is more advanced or not and to the common goal together.
Skill levels in all sports and activities vary as we know. Mighty Ballers, being the older group, will be able to play more uniform games and build on these team /group exercises.
