CATS (The Children’s Athletic Training School) is a “play with a purpose” philosophy: Children begin cross-training at 1 and 2 years with participation of parents/caregivers. At age 3, the separation begins with children participating in small groups. At ages 4-10, children enter GAME CATS leading to competitive sports participation. Strengthening activities and stretching are added for overall agility. Children are subtlety taught strategies and rules by playing more of the “game.” Next, sport specific classes: CATS is now home to U.S.T.A Quickstart Tennis, SocRoc’s Soccer and Martial Arts. Summer: ten weeks of multi sports, music and movement, crafts and backyard water play for 3-8 year olds. Afternoon classes are available for 1 and 2 year olds. For the 5-8 year summer group, CATS has the Butch Seewagen Tennis Academy at The Millennium Hotel. Summer Dance offers weekly programs for 3-5 and 5-10-year-old children with a mixture of ballet, yoga, modern, jazz, art, Tumbling, Tennis and outdoor water play. Afternoon Sport classes are available for 1 and 2 year olds; Soccer for 3-10 year olds; and Martial Arts for 4-adulthood. New at CATS: Mini Programs: Winter Break, 12/27-12/30/11; President’s Week Break, 2/21-2/24/12; and Spring Break (to be arranged).
