Once these basic fundamental movements are Adult recreational sport leagues, fitness classes, etc mastered children can then move on to learning fundamental sport skills. Fundamental sport skills are jumping, running, catching, throwing, kicking, swinging, hitting, etc. Learning these skills allow children to play multiple sports with ease. Not learning these skills can lead to a lifelong disconnect to sports and recreation. Once the fundamental sport skills are developed, then children may move on to sport specific skill. An example of a sport specific skill would be learning how to do a backhand in tennis. Research shows that learning a sport specific skill before a fundamental movement skill actually hurts performance ability later. Stages 1, 2, and 3 of LTAD develop physical literacy before puberty so children have the basic skills to be active for life.

At Young Rembrandts we teach drawing, the fundamental skill of all visual arts. We believe that drawing is a skill that can - and should - be learned by all children. While Young Rembrandts classes are structured and educational, children learn best when they are entertained and engaged. Young Rembrandts combines the best of both worlds - foundational art skills in a fun, nurturing environment - that gives your child the academic advantage. New class material each week and each session. All classes will be held at the Stoughton Youth Center. For more information call James at: 608-444-3213 or visit us online: www.youngrembrandts.com
This is a great way for your child to learn stick technique, teamwork, and stay in shape. This is a program to put your child in if they’re in soccer, lacrosse, and baseball as it will help them with spatial awareness (spacing) and hand-eye coordination that will carry over to those sports. Teams will be formed and games will be played each week. This program will also be a great introduction to the fun sport of hockey.
