FUNdamental Sports

What is FUNdamental Sports?
FUNdamental Sports is a sports based program that provides holistic growth to facilitate learning and life skill development in today’s youth. We use sports as an opportunity for kids to connect with others, enhance their skills, and have a positive athletic experience.  

Healthy Development of Children through Sports
Physical activity and participation in sports is fundamental to the early development of children. Skills learned during sports programs contribute to the holistic development of today’s youth physically, psychologically, and socially. Through participation in sport, children learn about the importance of key values such as teamwork, resilience, discipline, confidence, and self-esteem. Most importantly, children build healthy habits and lifestyle choices that encourage life-long participation in physical activity through sports participation.

FUNdamental Sports, an in house child development sports program for the Downers Grove Park District, provides a forum for children to learn the basics of a variety of sports. The philosophy of this program is for children to learn, be active, and ultimately have fun while learning how to play. The structure of FUNdamental Sports is based upon age-appropriate progressive curriculum that keeps children learning new skills each stage of the program. Whether your child is just learning how to play or has some experience with sports, our program individually challenges its participants based on their abilities. 

The nature of youth sports has changed from what it once was. Children now have the chance to take classes of their favorite sports with experienced coaches who can provide one-on-one attention your children deserve. With these classes, children can become happier, healthier, and perform at their optimal level in all aspects of their lives. Take advantage of this opportunity for your children to build their skills and have FUN with the basics in FUNdamental Sports.
