Bee Bops lessons are designed to encourage children to do fun stuff like running, jumping, catching / striking and kicking a ball by teaching them the “building blocks" of movement. The sessions are taught with loads of creativity, so that our Bee Boppers never even get a sneaky suspicion that they are actually learning and not just having fun!
What they will be doing:
Activities that develop:
Movement skills (children are likely to develop movement skills in a progressive order, learning simple before more complex skills. As an example: walking and hopping are simple movement patterns and combine to create skipping.)
Balance
Co-ordination (Eye – foot / hand)
Strength
Agility (Dodging & weaving)
Speed
Working on those life-skills:
Concentration
Independence
Social interaction
Confidence
What a difference a year makes! From around age 4 kids are more than ready to move it up a gear in the ongoing development of their physical skills. By expanding on the fundamentals of movement and developing a positive attitude to being active and playing sport, your child will gain the skills, experience and attitudes which will set the stage for them to take part in games and sport throughout their lives. We are teaching them the joy of being active and moving.
What they will be doing:
Progressing (Don’t you just love to see progress!) from simple to complex movement skills by adding new aspects, for example; changes in speed and direction:
Running
Hopping
Dodging
Jumping
Skipping
Object control skills are moved on to the next level by adding variations to:
Bouncing
Throwing
Catching
Kicking
Striking
Stability skills are pushed and expanded.
Balance: From static through to dynamic balance (balance combined with movement)
Landing
Rotation
Now for the cherry on top of the cake; with lots of opportunities to catch, intercept and hit a wide range of objects, your child becomes very good at “reading" what is going on around them.
Prediction - Where is the ball coming from? Where is it going?
Interception - Moving to a place where you can catch / hit the ball.
We love to add to our collection of life skills and our Enjoy-a-Ballers are gaining skills without even realising. We are working very hard on:
Persistence
Courage
Co-operation
Decision making
Your child has done the work and has built a super strong foundation of physical abilities.
* Our Champs learn sport specific skills and techniques as well as the basic rules of ten ball sports.
These are:
Basketball
Baseball
Football
Hockey
Volleyball
Tennis
Rugby
Cricket
Handball
Dodgeball
* Would you like your child to be a CHAMP?
Even if your child has not been part of our initial program they can still join us. Our amazing coaches and small class sizes mean that they can be brought up to speed very quickly.
What they will be doing:
Champs rotate through the 10 different sports on a weekly basis, playing matches and fine tuning skills.
The Champs stage is excellent for further development and enhancement of spatial perception within the environment of an actual match or game – it becomes easier to judge how hard or soft to kick / throw a ball to a team mate, how far does the ball need to travel and also in which direction? With practice these skills become more natural and not something to “think about".
Champs are constantly adding to their repertoire of life skills.
Sportsmanship
Respect – for yourself and others
