Toddler Sports

This weekend we started a Toddler sports class at the YMCA in Woburn.  We missed the first class for our trip to San Diego and LA, but the idea is to give toddlers (2 to 3.5 years in this case) a sampler of a bunch of different sports in 30 minute classes over 6 or 8 weeks.  Our first class was basketball and it was an amazing amount of fun.

The class started out with about 15 toddlers and their parents lined up at one side of the gym.  The instructors told the toddlers that they should run across the gym as warm up.  When they said go, some of the toddlers ran across, others stayed where they were and other, such as our son, just ran and ran and ran.  They then ran back across the gym (Davis once again went for a big run).  This was followed by stretching (touching toes, arms up and arms down) then by some basic basketball instruction.  They tried to teach bounce passes, chest passes, shooting and dribbling, all of which were a ton of fun for the kids and great entertainment for the parents.  Davis enjoyed running, kicking and throwing the ball, as well as jumping of random structures in the gym and running all over.  We don't have any pictures yet since the Y only allows pictures to be taken during one week during of the classes.

We can't wait for next week!
