About The Program

Start Smart Sports helps young children build confidence and develop the fundamentals of organized sports—without competition or pressure. Kids work one-on-one with an adult to learn basic skills like kicking, dribbling, throwing, batting, and agility. Grown-ups are active participants, making it a fun and engaging experience for both.

For more information, visit bit.ly/pr-start-smart or contact Recreation Coordinator MJ Goedeken at MJ.Goedeken@juneau.gov or (907) 586-2635.
