Kids First programs and camps are designed for sports development. Each program devotes time to body positioning, safety practices, skills, drills, games, and a championship game in the last session. Further, body balance and coordination through first step directional movements are also taught through a variety of martial arts techniques, geared specifically for youth sports.
