Amazing Athletes of Raleigh, NC

Our creative juices were flowing this week as we incorporated our muscle (quads) and motor development skill (balancing) into all of our activities. We used our quads and balancing when leaping during the triple jump. When playing mini lacrosse it was fun to show the athletes how a spoon looks and acts just like a full sized lacrosse stick. Each athlete had the opportunity to squat, scoop, cradle/balance, and throw the ball. Teaching our athletes how to use specific muscles in so many different ways is always a win. How will you use your quads today?

Gorgeous day to be bringing our program to a new location! We are excited to meet our new athletes and introduce them to football, baseball, nutritious food, and teamwork. Creating Monday smiles for a great start to the school day. What will you be doing today to bring joy to yourself and others?

Starting the week off bringing Amazing Athletes to new students. We love having the opportunity to provide complimentary demos to current and new schools giving athletes a chance to try our program. Today’s demo has us playing football and using the fiber from apples to give us super speed. Creating smiles and memories one play at a time. Make it a great week!

We are so excited to bring treats to our schools & their staff! We couldn’t be successful without their support. Looking forward to a fantastic school year!

Summer may be winding down but the creativity hasn’t stopped. This week we are adding beach balls into our curriculum. Group games help teach our athletes teamwork along with learning how to use equipment in various ways. We will also be using the beach balls to play baseball. Of course we will be incorporating our muscle education into all of our activities too. We are looking forward to seeing the smiles when we bring out the beach balls. Make it a great week!

Our athletes always put a smile on our face but you when you walk into a classroom to say "Good Morning" and the children are chanting your names it just warms the heart. Thank you for all the families and athletes for giving us such joy!

It may have been rainy today in NC but that didn't stop our creativity and fun for our athletes. Moving inside brings out new opportunities. After color sorting we used our bean bag scarves as jellyfish and swam around the ocean using a variety of motions. We ran, tip toed, marched, and jumped the waves. What a better way to teach ball control than to bring soccer indoors to a smaller space. So many activities were played and lots of giggles were heard. Stay dry this week.

Excited to be at the Networking Women of The Triangle’s career fair! We look forward to meeting future coaches and team members.

Last week we had a blast introducing our athletes to a variety of new games! The biggest hit was Octopus Ball. During this game they got to throw balls at the coaches. Playground games give our athletes the opportunity to strengthen their teamwork skills, gross motor skills, and have new experiences. This week we will work on speed & agility, and throwing through football and baseball. Have a great week!
