Little Sluggerz Program:
The Little Sluggerz Program is currently evaluating children (boys and girls) for our ongoing sessions. We are currently offering both afternoon and evening sessions. Each session works best with 3 to 4 boys/girls. Scheduling and creating new sessions is based strictly on demand. When we put together a Lil' Sluggers group, we are doing so with the expectation that each student will be attending on a weekly basis. However, there is no package to buy and no long term commitment. You only pay when you attend. You keep coming as long as your child is learning and having fun. Each session lasts one hour and the cost is $15 per session per child.
The current Little Sluggerz program is designed for children between 3 and 5 years of age. In the current Little Sluggerz program, we introduce one basic physical skill each week while disguising the "drill" in a fun setting. The "skill-of-the-week" is always the focus of the session and most activities revolve around that skill.
All kids develop their athletic skills at different rates. In some cases, skill development may be accelerated by the presence of older siblings. The main goal of our evaluation is to ensure that your child will benefit from what is being taught in this program. For example, a 5-year old with the physical skills of a 7-year old may not be challenged sufficiently and may become a safety risk to others, younger kids, in the program. Some of our kids are already in organized t-ball leagues and some are not. This factor alone can create a large difference in skill level between students. Our goal is to keep our groups as evenly matched as possible.
Each Little Sluggerz session is supervised by a responsible Little Slugger Program Coordinator. Sessions last one hour and include a different "skill-of-the-week" focus for each session. Most of the time is spent in actively teaching and practicing skills but we also take short breaks to do other related activities too.
