About XploreSportZ
PacificSport VI’s XploreSportZ program introduces kids to FUNdamental skills through the discovery of sport and play. Qualified coaches and leaders introduce sport in a non-competitive environment. Coaches accommodate all skill and experience levels to ensure learning for everyone. Some sports are more traditional such as soccer and some more unique like tumbling. This program is offered for children 6.5-12 years.
About ActiveStar
PacificSport VI’s ActiveStar is a program that was created to help children ages 3-6 learn the FUNdamental movement skills through fun and unique activities. Participants will build confidence, develop their posture and balance and learn to enjoy being active.
