A child's life is one of wonder, exploration and ACTIVITY!  Children need to be active on a daily basis and are happiest when playing, expecially with other children.  Dr. John's Sports Center is a neighborhood center that offers unique programs specifically designed to meet children's need to move and help them develop physical activity and nutrition behaviors that will keep them healthy everyday for a lifetime.

 

Our Program Features:

 

¨       Daily Physical Activity (at least one hour)

 

¨       Supervised homework time (30 minutes)

 

¨       Healthy snacks prepared in our kitchen

 

¨       Age-appropriate sport instruction

 

¨       Organized cooperative recreational games

 

"Your program actually does things with the children....it's not just a babysitting service."  "They don't want to go home in the afternoon - that has never happened before in other after school care programs."

Through our structured CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) our children rotate through a series of classes lead by our qualified instructors.  These classes are designed to give children the opportunity to experience motor and skill development in sport and physical activity as well as obtain information on healthy lifestyles.   Dr. John's Sports Center was the national receipient of the 2008 CATCH After School Care Program for its outstanding service to children of Cedar Park and Leander.
