Alternative to ball sports

In traditional ball sports, there are so many negative situations that cause a loss of self esteem for a child. Not hitting the home run, not hitting the ball, not making the catch, not scoring a goal, the negative comments, the put downs, the sitting on the bench, the coach’s dirty looks, and the bullying from others. This is not an enjoyable endeavor for a child. We want fitness and health for our children. We want a good experience. We want the life lessons for our children of being able to protect themselves from harm both mentally and physically. We want to teach them about setting and achieving goals.


An alternative option to ball sports exists for children who have no desire to kick something around a field for an hour. Consider investigating Master Lowell’s Mixed Martial Arts Academy.
