Start Smart Programs Offered
Wellington Recreation is proud to offer the Start Smart programs. Start Smart Programs were created by the National Alliance for Youth Sport to help kids get ready for sports....and succeed in life. It is a step-by-step approach that builds confidence and self-esteem while making sports fun. Parent-child groups will perform motor skill tasks that gradually build confidence in children while they are having fun at the same time. Parents spend quality time together with their child while learning how to properly teach and support them in sports. If your young child has never participated in an organized sport this is the perfect introduction for you and your child. Visit NAYS.org for more information. Wellington Recreation offers the following Start Smart Programs: soccer, flag football, baseball, basketball.
