More Fun, Less Specialization

I was talking with a relative last weekend and the discussion went to youth sports and how we wholeheartedly disagree with the way things are set up. In my experience observing things, there is a race to specialize, sports seem to run year round, there is a rush to get formalized training by a "professional" and a rush to reach the pinnacle... even if it is only for the 10 year old championship. This, my friends, is a flawed approach!

If you don't want to take my word for it, look at the data: The American Academy of Pediatrics reports that 70% of children quit sports by the age of 13. This is an incredible fail rate! The article chalks up the causes to the over professionalization of youth sports, overtraining, pressure to specialize causing injury, intense competition, burnout and the number one factor: IT IS JUST NOT FUN ANYMORE!

Cornerstone Sports Club is designed to be the antidote to those problems. It is our mission to bring the fun back into athletics and to offer a program that will teach a wide variety of athletic skills that carry over to any sport the participants wish to pursue as they get older. Here is how we plan on doing it...
  1. We will introduce a variety of sports and games that encourages communication, team work and problem solving.
  2. We will teach kids how to run faster, jump higher & throw farther
  3. We will build strength & confidence in each and every participant.
  4. We will teach kids how to practice and train in a fun, competitive environment.
  5. Most importantly, we will have fun!
That being said, I have a special offer for all the readers of this email. I have a special price set aside for the FIRST TEN people who sign up for this program.
