Parents in Janesville have a special opportunity to help their children develop sports skills through a unique national program through the National Alliance for Youth Sports. The Start Smart Program is an instructional program that prepares youth for organized sports without the fear of competition by developing their basic motor skills such as batting, catching, kicking and throwing. Parents will also be taught the proper way to develop skills with their children, while building their confidence and ability to enjoy youth sports.
The Start Smart Sports Development Program is open to youngsters ages 3-5. Parents or other adults must attend the six, one-hour classes. The entire session costs $35. This family-friendly program will take place May 21 - June 25 at Riverside Park and will be held every Wednesday from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. Meet at the North Pavilion before class starts. Both parents and children should dress in attire ready to play! Pre-registration is required by May 14. For more information, please call the Recreation Division at 755-3030.
