Description

Specialties

The benefits of the Youth Exercise & Sports (Y.E.S!) of SWFL programs are numerous: weight management, improved athletic performance, improved attention and focus, better academic performance, new friendships established, and perhaps most importantly, increased self-​esteem. The results of Y.E.S! reach far beyond the physical benefits. Besides improved endurance and flexibility, increased muscle tone, and weight loss, parents have noted that their children display increased self-​esteem and confidence, better eating habits, and even better grades in school!

History

Established in 2015.

Youth Exercise & Sport of SWFL started out as a weekend sports introduction program with the Lee County Parks and Recreation. Now we still run the weekend programs plus in addition we are an after school program specializing in youth exercise, sports, and health.

Starting as a coach with the YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, Pop Warner, and Jr NBA programs; I’ve noticed that kids were being placed into recreational sports without proper training and acknowledgement of the sport. Most recreational programs in our area only allow one week of practice before the game, which isn’t enough time for players, parents, or coaches to teach the kids the proper game. Also, in the United States there is a big risk of overweight and obese kids and we would like to promote healthy eating habits for healthier kids.
