Kids First believes youth sports training is a process of consistent teaching practices based
on FUN/Safety/Skills/Confidence that works on the field and in the class room.
Kids First programs & camps are designed for sports development. Each program devotes time to:
body positioning, safety practices, skills, drills, games, & a championship game on the last session. Further, Body Balance & Coordination through first
step directional movements are also taught through a variety of martial arts techniques geared specifically for youth sports.
Finally, a series of Always Rules will be taught to players in a specific order to help their body alignment for Safety that parents have called
'Mandatory'!
