FunFit is a program designed around developing sound fundamental skills in body movement, kinesthetic awareness, strength, and improving cardiovascular endurance for aspiring athletes. During these sessions, the focus will be to keep the FUN in fundamentals! By providing games that allow athletes to move in multi-planar motions, interact with other athletes, and develop confidence, all while learning the underlying themes of movement patterns, proper form, and technique. Better movement quality during childhood prepares young athletes to better manage the growth disruptions during puberty. This can in turn, help avoid injuries and keep athletes playing safely.
