Grades 1-6. Futsal is a fast-paced, small-sided version of soccer played on a hard court. It is great for developing ball-control and passing skills and for improving decision making. Each night will consist of a brief skills/strategy session with high school players and coaches, followed by a competitive match.

Learn Traditional Shorinryu Karate from an instructor who lived and trained in the birthplace of karate, Okinawa, Japan. Jurgens Sensei has over 40 years of experience, speaks the language, and understands the culture of a traditional dojo. He holds an 8th Degree Black Belt in Karate, and a 7th Degree Black Belt in Ryukyu Kobudo and is the senior ranked person in his association outside of Japan. Classes focus on development of fundamentals and then application of those skills through forms and self defense techniques. The focus is on personal betterment, not competition or sport. The approach applies to all ages; it is great for kids and even better for adults, who may get the most benefit out of the range of motion, balance, and strengthening drills. Adults also benefit from getting a break from a stressful day. Expect to learn some Japanese, traditional forms, and then useful applications from those forms while also getting in some work on pads and flexibility in this class. All advancements are recognized by Japan and any Dan Ranks (Black Belts) are issued from Japan by the association president and head instructor.
