Hot Shots does something no other sports and arts program does: We blend reading, art, public speaking, imagination games, soccer skills, dance, music, and 100% parent participation to build kids’ self-esteem.
And we do it in ways no other youth program does: We use puppets, parachutes, pillow fights, flying stuffed animals, and tutus to teach soccer skills. And we use acro-dance, sculpting, drumming, Irish Step, and more to introduce your child to the arts.
We also not only end every session with a story time, we also give each child five books to take home and read each week!
Parents looking to give their young children (ages 2-7) and themselves good physical or artistic activities on fall, winter, and spring Sundays can get that and a lot more at Hot Shots.
And all of the activities are built around the central mission of Hot Shots: To build stronger children in every way. And it’s worked. After Hot Shots, parents reported the impact of the program on their children:
- 98% were more self-confident
- 98% were more at ease in social settings
- 94% were more willing to try new things
- 92% were more independent
- 92% were more fond of books & reading
