Sports are critical to a child’s development, not only in improving physical fitness but also in developing teamwork, leadership, and respect. The LSF Kids Sports department’s experienced staff teaches kids not only the fundamentals of individual games but also a love and respect for playing sports. Your child will develop motor skills, sportsmanship, and an appreciation for activities that will keep them active for the rest of their lives.

Private training can be geared toward players who need more individualized attention, have trouble staying on task in group classes, or have specific goals to achieve. Private training allows for instructors to personalize goals and objectives specific to the player. Lessons are skill-based, focusing on developing individual skill sets (dribbling, shooting, passing, strategy, and more), starting where the player currently is, and helping to sharpen and develop their skill set to maximize ability on the basketball court. Private training does not follow class sessions; however, most maintain a weekly standing time with their instructor. Lessons will be held in the gym.
