EQUIPMENT
A wide variety of equipment including Olympic as well as specialized and modified equipment is used in our programs. Equipment is well maintained and set up in a safe and planned way. Of special attraction to the children is our in-ground pit and trampolines, which promise a fun and memorable experience! Small equipment such as beanbags, hoops, ropes, blocks, balls etc are used for warm-up activities and to develop such things as hand-eye and foot-eye co-ordination.
