MYAF offers a variety of programs that develop athleticism in youth. Each program focuses on the unique movement patterns associated with particular sports related physical activities. We do not teach specific sport skills, but rather develop the competencies and confidence associated with athleticism. We promote and encourage movement, building a "bridge of success" connecting youth with a wide range of activities, sports and an active healthy lifestyle. We teach the "INGs" of athleticism like... locomoting, jumping, throwing, swinging, reaching, bending, twisting, lifting, pushing, pulling, propelling, and of course smiling. The "INGs" of movement literacy enable a natural progression to running, skating, swimming, and even competing for those interested.
The Stride and Glide Program will focus on the dynamic movement of Skating for the sport of Ringette and Hockey We encourage kids to move more and live healthy active lifestyles. We create opportunities so kids can experience success with their individual athleticism - every child is an athlete. When a child experiences positive re-enforcement, encouragement and fun with movement and activity you will then see a repeated behaviour shown in repeated participation. It becomes the child's choice to continue. Our foundation continues to support communities by building relationships with parents, sport groups, community groups, teachers and schools. Together we are building strong communities one move at a time. If you are interested please register early - program is filling. Parents are also welcome and encourage to participate To register please visit Merriott Youth Athletic Foundation / Programs / Community Programs.
Thanks
Chris
