Activity: Basic Sports Classes

Where to find it: Gymboree or YMCA locations, or check with your local fitness or community center.

What He'll Learn: Ideal for children ages 3 to 5 years, these introductory classes teach kids about sports and encourage a healthy, active lifestyle. Your child will learn the skills necessary for soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, hockey, and more while practicing teamwork, cooperation, and sharing with the other children. You may be able to take the class as a parent-child team at first before letting him branch out on his own to learn independence and make new friends.

Hi just wanted to write about Gymboree classes I resently enrolled my son when we left for vacation I was surprized that Gymboree still charged me for classes that we did not attend When I brought it to their attention I was told that it is their way of doing business so I asked for makeup classes but they don't do that. So it is my opinion that Gymboree is a rip off!!! Michigan Mom
