World of Sports: Soccer / Football Focus

Wednesdays (8 Weeks)

April 19 – June 7

Instructor: Jonah Lounds (Aurora Alum, Summer Camp Counselor, and Sporty Guy!)

Students will participate in a sampling of football based team sports: moving the “ball” up the field towards a goal. This will include: American football, Football in the rest of the world (aka soccer!), ultimate frisbee and/or football, Australian Rules football, and maybe even lacrosse! All will be no contact versions of the sport. We’ll build their skill set and knowledge of each, culminating in full (somewhat competitive) scrimmages. In each lesson, skills associated with team play will be prioritized over individual achievement, and full group participation will be massively encouraged. Students will help choose those that we focus on, and we’ll approach them in an age appropriate way. Third grade students can choose to sign up for either the younger or older session, and those in the older (later) session can choose to stay in the regular after care program for the hour before class begins, or head home and come back by 3:15.

Cost: $175

Minimum 4 students, maximum 12 students

Grades K-3: 2:15–3:15 pm

Grades 3-7: 3:15 – 4:15 pm

Please make sure to sign out your child even if they are just attending for the enrichment class.
