By improving their basic sport skills, children will feel more comfortable in physical activity settings and will enjoy more personal success.

Positive experiences will lead to feelings of pride, increased self-concept, and the skills to enhance the quality of lives through active living.

The long-term goal is to support the development of healthy, active lifestyles; the short-term goal is for children to master their basic sport skills.
