SAC (Speed, Agility and Coordination)

Our SAC program is designed to allow children to progressively acquire and develop agility, balance, movement patterns and motor skills in a safe and enjoyable environment. Many of the activities and equipment are taken from the internationally renowned SAQ program, which can be used by anyone from young children to professional athletes across a range of sports. Whether movement or ball skills, children acquire transferable skills that can be used across a variety of sports. Life-long habits for health and fitness begin with skills and experiences learned in childhood, and this program helps children get off to a great start!

3-4 years

A range of fun games and drills are used to develop overall agility, balance and coordination.  Running, jumping, balance, throwing and hand-eye coordination are developed for both sides of the body.  Agility ladders and are introduced, and children will love testing themselves with countless variations as they improve!  Games also help listening and social skills, as well as fostering self esteem and independence.

5-6 years

Physical skills are refined from fundamental to develop more specialized skills, such as catching, throwing, striking, footwork and evasion. Fun, modified games and drills from various sports are brought in to develop ball skills and ‘sense’, as well as movement patterns.  Activities focus on individual challenges, using equipment such as agility ladders, poles, cones and hurdles. Age appropriate games are also introduced to develop teamwork.
 
7-11 years 

The aim of this class is to improve speed, agility and coordination for more specific use in sports. For example drills used to develop quick footwork can improve performance in tennis, soccer, basketball, dance, hockey and many more. Similarly drills and games used to improve catching, striking, throwing and evasion skills are also transferable to a wide range of ball sports. Whilst conducted in a group environment, challenges are mostly individual, ensuring that each participant is given the best opportunity to improve regardless of their ability in each skill area – which also makes it fun!
