The following video is uncut…unedited…raw footage of two 5 year old boys playing at Athletic Revolution as they await pick up.

They were left to their own accord to play with everything in the facility excluding the weights.  I sat at the very desk I am typing this post from with a watchful eye to see what they would come up with.

I was amazed.

• Creativity
• Balance
• Cooperation
• Spatial Awareness
• Kinethestic Differentiation
• Over all conditioning
• Throwing, kicking, jumping and climbing

Its all in there.

No fancy programming and no coach.

Encourage this kind of play with your young athletes.

Til next time,

~Coach Dave
