Major Leagues (4’s and 5’s)

With greater independence children are expected to partake in class without a caregiver. There is more of a focus on challenging sports cues that combine more coordinated skills in a faster pace than previous age groups. The goal is to have Major Leagues excel in the sports they like and get them ready for team / competitive sports.
