The Youth Zany/ St. Stephens' School Sports Project
"Youth Zany Sports" or the "St. Stephen's School Sports" project, is a program where kids, aged 5-14, are given the opportunity to try a variety of new, exciting but less commonly played sports! Each lesson focuses on skill development through physical literacy, developing FUNdamental movement skills & having fun, setting the groundwork for a love of sport and an “I can play anything!” attitude: Our hope is that some of them may also find a love for a sport outside the norm, through exposure to many different kids of fun activities and sports programs!
