This game-filled experience for kids of all ages will help children develop situational awareness of the people and physical world around them, greater control of their bodies, mind-body connection, and the ability to self-regulate; that is, to move from excitement/activity into calm/focus. They'll also get plenty of exercise while having fun!
Chock-full of games, kids will rotate through classics like Red Light Green Light, dodgeball games, foam noodle “battles," Soccer, Tee-ball, Tag, Capture the Flag, Hide and Seek, Duck Duck Goose, Eye Spy, and Tug of War. Integrated within play, Jackson will introduce them to several mindful meditations and breathing practices. This experience is sure to tucker kids, while also centering them 🧘
When booked as a multi-week series, Jackson will deep-dive each week into a specific game or sport, while also balancing the 2-hours with a mix of games, mindfulness, technique, and free play.
Gather a group of friends to turn up the fun, and the price goes down for everyone.
Coach Jackson has over a decade of experience coaching and working with kids. His philosophy is that exploration and play through games and physical activities is one of the most basic and powerful ways to learn.
He's worked closely with children as a Physical Education teacher in an elementary school; after school sports and programming (football, chess, wrestling, soccer, and general games); coaching extracurricular soccer; and early on in a daycare setting. Many Marin kids have their first soccer and tee-ball experiences with Coach Jackson, and with Grasshopper Kids he brings the same technique, enthusiasm for the game, and especially fun straight to your door!
Jackson is vaccinated against COVID-19.
