Turnersville NJ, 05-DECEMBER-2014 - The Little Gym of Washington Township is pleased to announce that its well-rounded program for children provides kids sports classes to area youngsters. The Turnersville NJ childrens gymnastics facility offers a range of programs, including sports to be a part of the three part emphasis for Get Moving, Brain Power and Citizenship. Active participation in sports and pre-sports activities begins at a young age in Washington Township.

Children enrolled in the Mini Jacks program for three and four-year-olds, or the Cracker Jacks activities for four to six-year-olds gain a grounding in the skills, rules and strategies of team sports. These elements of learning are helpful whether the child becomes an active team player, recreational athlete or an enthusiastic fan. The children who participate in a sports skills development class are introduced to a lifetime of positive sports experiences.

During both the core season and the summer session, trained professional coaches lead out in drills and game simulations for many of the most popular sports activities. These include soccer, baseball, basketball, football, hockey and golf. The lesson plans provide activities that are fun and creative. They provide the child with an understanding of teamwork and sportsmanship.

Programs at the Little Gym emphasize three dimensions of learning. Children "Get Moving" through understanding various team sports, improving hand-eye coordination, and enhanced strength and agility. "Brain Boost" activities enhance understanding of complex games, multiple step processes to reach a goal and listening skills. "Citizen Kid" encourages group participation and teamwork, managing emotions, sportsmanship and self-confidence.

Children who "Get Moving" have both short and long term benefits. When they have physical activities during the day, they tend to sleep better. Since the sleep hours are times when children do their growing and recovery from any stresses during the day, enough sleep is crucial for good health. Children who have times of exercise built into their daily schedule are less stressed, The body and brain work together for good emotional health and moving promotes release of hormones which improve the ability to get rid of stress.

When the child gets enough exercise, it helps to build self-confidence. Movement improves the eye-hand coordination and as the child grows to trust the ability of his or her body to respond in the way he intended, there will be more assurance that there is some control over the environment and the way the body responds to the surroundings.

For most children, moving about results in stronger bones and muscles. The circulation is increased, bringing the building blocks which the body needs for cell recovery. Improving the composition of the body at the cellular level will improve overall health. Not only are the bones and muscles strengthened through physical activity, but the child will experience increased endurance and flexibility. The muscles are kept limber and loose so that movement is easier. The capacity of the lungs and heart are expanded to handle the increased demands which are placed on them. There is also creased circulation which improves overall bodily health.
