Velocity Sports Performance is looking to form classes for homeschoolers in the late morning and early afternoons. You can join classes on an individual basis, or you can also form "teams" and all come in together to work as a group. If you are interested, please contact Mindy (see below for contact information).

Velocity Sports Performance in Roswell (608 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell) offers a variety of classes for ALL ages and ALL skill levels. Anyone (youth through adults) who would like to become more fit, faster in their particular sport, or move onto the next level can participate at Velocity Sports Performance.

Fit Bodies...Fit Minds.

Want your children to be successful in life? Encourage them to play sports!

We're told about the physical benefits of sports participation all the time. It's pretty much common sense that the more physically active you are, the healthier you'll be. Did you know that playing sports can improve your child's social skills? It's true! There are studies that prove it. In fact, not only does athletic activity benefit children socially, but essentially, it can lead them down a path towards greater success in life. This seems like a pretty big feat for chasing a ball down the field, don't you think? Well – there's a little more to it than that.

Mental Benefits

According to research, playing sports may actually help students perform better in the classroom. Participating in sports teaches children to focus effectively, and reinforces the importance of concentration. This kind of discipline can carry over into the classroom allowing for greater attention during lectures and on assignments.

Social Benefits

If you have found that your child has difficulty making friends or relating to others in social situations, joining a sports team could be just what he or she needs. Through team sports, kids are given the opportunity to spend a significant amount of time doing something fun with people who are the same age and have similar interests. This helps form a sense of community with teammates. In addition, participating in team sports allows children to take on leadership roles, to learn to handle adversity and competition, and even to improve their time management skills. Young athletes are taught about fair play and abiding by rules and regulations – social and moral skills that they will carry over into their everyday lives and into adulthood.

At Velocity Sports Performance, we certainly strive to help our athletes become faster, more powerful and more agile. But it is also our goal through our coaching style to help them develop these psychological benefits that will help them become more well-rounded, successful individuals in life.
