Summer Sports


Sports teams are a wonderful way to build confidence, and to teach the importance of teamwork and camaraderie. And besides, there’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition! To narrow down what league(s) may be the right fit for your little one it is important to consider their personality first. Are they introverted or extroverted? Do they bounce off the walls or do they sit quietly and enjoy a good book? Considering your childs personality traits can help you pinpoint exactly which sport will suit them best.
