ASPIRE ACADEMY FOR SPORTS EXCELLENCE

The ASPIRE Sport Skill Development Program conducts after-school programs that teach children in grades 1 through 6 the basic movement skills required in all sports (jumping, kicking, throwing, striking, etc.) and introduces them to a variety of sporting disciplines. These Multisport Skill Development Centers are located in local schools and one is located in the ASPIRE Dome. More highly-skilled children may be invited to participate in the Advanced Multisport Program. ASPIRE also offers Sport-Specific Skill Development programs that range from 8-week sport workshops to year-round programs in selected sports. Children from the Advanced and Sport-Specific programs may be invited to participate in Academy Feeder Groups. Find out how to register!
