Team Membership
Every child likes to be a part of a group. TOT provides an awesome opportunity for every student to be a member of the team. The TOT program provides for skill acquisition, eye hand coordination, following directions, and physical activity; however, it encompasses so much more! Friendships are established, challenges are met, self-discipline becomes necessary and self-value is heightened.
TOT is a training program for life!
100% Participation
Don’t worry about your child sitting the bench in this program--- it just won’t happen! Every single child has a basketball and they are actively participating every minute of the class. Also, they don’t have to worry about “being good enough.” They won’t compete against anyone but themselves. The students are encouraged to improve each week---but the only person they have to beat is themselves.
Self-Esteem
The only way to succeed is to experience success. There is no shortcut to it. Students come to the TOT classes and work each lesson to obtain skills. Instructors model, encourage and challenge each and every student. What’s in it for the kids? Success. They work hard, they learn the skills, they master the whistle commands and then they perform. And then….deep inside, where no one sees and no one hears….they hear a little voice…it says to them and them alone…“You did it, you did it great, you worked for this and you did it!” Success---it is to be experienced.
Mastery of Skills
The TOT program is designed for all students to experience success. In order for this to happen, skills must be taught in a sequential manner. The TOT curriculum has been tried and tested---it is organized in such a way to lay a strong foundation upon which 100’s of ball handling & dribbling skills can be mastered.
Performance Opportunities
There can’t be enough said about this aspect of the program! It is the favorite part! After learning the skills, memorizing whistle commands, paying attention, it all has a pay-off-----PERFORMANCE TIME! TOT is a Performance Team! Sharp skills, coordinated music, well-prepared players, cool basketballs and bright shirts----it’s a package deal! It all goes together. This is an experience you won’t forget!
Healthy Bodies
Oh yeah, and last but not least, TOT helps to promote healthy bodies. Those little things such as strength, endurance, healthy bones, muscles and hearts cannot be overlooked. Don’t tell your students, but TOT is a health program also.
