This isn't your average playground game...

World Chase Tag is a professional sport where athletes sprint, flip, and slide through obstacle courses to evade being tagged. 20 seconds on the clock. Pure adrenaline.

When art was an Olympic sport.

Did you know you could once win an Olympic gold medal for painting or poetry? From 1912 to 1948, the arts were officially part of the Games—with the catch that every masterpiece had to be about sports. The rules eventually kicked artists out for being "too professional."

Imagine standing on the podium for an epic poem!

Movement is one of the most powerful medicines we can give our children — and it doesn't need to be complicated.

A backyard run, a tennis drill, a dance break — these moments are building stronger hearts, sharper minds, and more confident kids every single day. This week, let's commit to at least ONE moment of joyful movement every day.

They didn't just lose the race—they gained something much bigger.

When a collision threatened their Olympic dreams in 2016, Nikki Hamblin and Abbey D'Agostino chose compassion over competition. This is what true sportsmanship actually looks like.

Happy Skill-Up Wednesday!

We are back with another breakdown of the fundamentals that keep our young athletes moving! In tennis, EVERYTHING starts with the Ready Position. Even during our digital break, our standard on-court training hasn't stopped—and this core stance remains the absolute foundation we build every single skill on in our Tennis Enrichment Classes!

Before the ball is even hit, getting into the right stance prepares your child to react fast, move smoothly, and play with total confidence.

Want to practice the perfect stance at home today? Keep it simple with these 4 quick checks:

1️⃣ Base: Feet flat and shoulder-width apart
2️⃣ Spring: Bend those knees softly!
3️⃣ Balance: Lean slightly forward, weight on the balls of the feet
4️⃣ Hands: Hold the racket up and ready in front

Our active programs are always moving forward, and we want to know what you want to see broken down next!

Which skill should Coach Henry cover in our next graphic? Tell us in the comments!

SPORTS BUG CHALLENGE #2

Henry the Sports Bug is back on the track and ready to see what you've got.

Today, we are building strong legs and lightning-fast agility with a classic fitness favorite: 10 squats! Your mission is to smash out 10 perfect reps as fast as you safely can, keeping your heels glued to the ground and sitting back like you're in an invisible chair. Make sure to time yourself from the very first drop to the final stand, then drop your time in the comments below to lock in your score.

Don't forget to tag a friend or teammate to see if they can beat your record! Henry finished his reps with perfect form—do you think you can take him on? Let's see those times!

Good sportsmanship means shaking hands after a tough match, saying "good job" to the other team, and keeping a positive attitude even when the scoreboard doesn't lean our way. That's the real mark of a sports bug!
