GETTING STARTED
Families joining Variety Village have demonstrated their commitment to activity and the importance of exercise on a daily basis. Alongside the programs available for parents, we offer programs both on land and in the water for children that create new connections, foster fundamental movement skills and teach simple sport skills. Our goal is to promote physical activity in an environment that is inclusive.
INTRODUCTION TO SPORT
INTRODUCING PHYSICAL LITERACY TO YOUR INFANTOR TODDLER
Parent and child can register for a number of early morning/early afternoon programs both on land and in water. The activities are designed to foster social play and connections for the child and friendships for the parents.
GETTING ACTIVE
For children three to six years of age. In both the fieldhouse and pool, these programs introduce children to fundamental movement in an environment that is fun, inclusive and interactive.
If you are not sure what program to start with, try out the Children in Motion classes, the starting blocks to teaching running, throwing, catching and kicking through games and activities.
NOT SURE WHICH SPORT YOUR CHILD IS INTERESTED IN PURSUING?
For children five and older. As children transition out of the Children in Motion classes and show an interest in sport, Variety Village offers multi-sport classes on land and Red Cross swim programs in water.
These classes introduce and help to foster sport skills including:
1. dribbling 2. striking 3. lifting 4. swimming
Throughout the 11-week program, coaches from the teams will be guest teaching, introducing simple sport specific skills. This gives the children the opportunity to experience each of the sports we foster at Variety Village.
INTRODUCTION TO SPORT
For children five and older. For children who have mastered basic fundamental movement skills through the Children in Motion and/or Multi-sport classes.If the child has interest in participating in a specific sport on land or in water, Variety Village offers eight introduction to sport teams including, wheelchair basketball, weightlifting, track, swimming, synchronized swimming, Taekwondo, powerlifting and boccia.
Coaches facilitating the program follow a teaching model that focuses on age, stage and development under the Canadian Sport for Life Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD).
