Working with kidsAs I worked with kids in other sports there were some things that I wanted to do that made sense for them but also engagingly fun as well. We will definitely focus on building strong foundational skills and aspects. The drills and exercises will be age appropriate that helps to keep the energy levels at a high. The key to accomplishing this is with Patience and encouragements.
