The Start Smart program is for 3-4 year olds (participants must be 3 by the first session). Start Smart Sport sessions are held 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. every Saturday, October 14 – November 19 at Floyd Dryden Middle School. Children work with an adult in their lives in a supportive environment to learn the basic skills of sports: kicking, dribbling, throwing, batting and agility. Adults are active participants in the program.
