Each targets specific control skills in your little one – throwing, catching and kicking in the case of rugby, dribbling and kicking for soccer, and catching and striking in the case of tennis, for instance.

The programme is designed to improve your kid’s motor and stability skills, as well as help with sport-specific skills such as agility, speed, endurance, strength and reaction time.
