Testimonials

I ordered Skillastics for my summer school program and then to continue to use with my After School Program. We used it this summer and the students absolutely loved it and asked to do it every day. My goal is to increase the activities so that all of my age levels can use the program. It is absolutely awesome.

We have implemented Skillastics® at all elementary expanded learning program sites within our district. Our students having a blast and Skillastics® is changing their attitude about physical activity! It is extremely easy for our staff to implement and ensures that we are meeting our goal of 30-45 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day!

Skillastics® has allowed us to easily incorporate nutritional information and discuss physical fitness. It is very user friendly and easy to modify to meet the multiple needs of students.

My ASES staff is so excited about the awesome Skillastics® training! Today they had about 75 kids having great fun and education time using Skillastics®. Thank you!!!

Kids are loving Skillastics®! It was the best purchase of the grant that we have spent to date!

Although I know how to handle the basketball, it was a great help due to my recent sickness. The instructional DVD was a great way to show my students how to perform a basketball skill and then follow the steps. Basketball Skillastics® was a lot of fun! Now my students ask to play it all the time.

My school is one of the smallest in Caddo Parish, Louisiana so we only have one basketball goal. Basketball Skillastics® was a great substitute for my basketball unit with limited equipment.

The different levels of repetitions options gave a chance for my weaker students to still participate and not be intimidated by higher level students. All the items are made from good quality materials and are easy to understand and handle. Over all 10 out of 10. I would recommend Basketball Skillastics® to all P.E. teachers. Thank you.

Sandy Slade came to do a training with the entire ICEF PE staff on her Skillastics® program and kits. The entire 2 hours had everyone fully engaged in developing various physical skills and working in teams to answer academic questions. Staff was so excited to order multiple kits for each of their schools. Since we had our training I had the opportunity to use the STEM Skillastics® with a 5th grade teacher and his class. All students were engaged in physical and cognitive activity throughout!!!!!!

We have had our Fitness Fun Zone for a few years and our students enjoy it. The ease of use allows any teacher to use the Fun Zone with students. The lesson can be casual as an alternative to free play or as structured as a PE class. In addition, the lively colors and fun design brighten up our playground.

This is an evidence-based physical activity game that youth ALL school age can do. We purchased two of the games last year with our OJP Grant. Our kids, even our middle school kids, enjoy playing it. The best thing is it keeps them moving - all of them moving at one time in an organized fashion! You can also play this game with as little as 6 kids to 100 kids. The more kids playing the more fun it is. We play it in the gym but it can be played in small spaces as well!

They really love it. I walked in the kids doing the Fitness set yesterday and it was (not only hilarious for me to watch) but very inclusive and fun. The kids seemed to be having a blast and I can't wait to start some of the other sports.

My first encounter with Skillastics was at a TAHPERD Convention during which I knew this was something I wanted to use when I became a PE Teacher. Many years later I was fortunate to become the PE Teacher at D. Singleterry Sr. Elem w/ Donna ISD. It was the summer of my first year when I pulled the trigger and bought multiple kits during a TAHPERD Conference. It was a hard choice to select which ones i would use with my students as I couldn't afford to buy them all. The first year I used them the students were skeptical but soon it would change and they would want to use them more and more. Currently my favorite one to use is the Bilingual Half Pint Kit with all my Pre-K thru first graders during the first couple of weeks, Pre-K and Kinder get to use it most of first semester. Once they learn all the movements I have two random students roll the dice while others hold the cards. We locate the movement that was rolled and everyone get to participate. Once we finish with that exercise, two new rollers are selected to roll and we attempt to get through as many movements as we can before class time runs out. At the end of class the students are slightly disappointed that we didn't get to finish because they were having so much fun with the activity. I currently own and use the following kits Half Pint, Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, Fitness, and STEM, however there are still several that I need which I'm sure the students would love to use. This upcoming school year would be an amazing time to get to try a new kit as I'm sure the students will be ready to hear back into the rhythm of our fun Skillastics activities.

We have had a fabulous time this year introducing our migrant students to the Skillastics programs! We utilized the Tennis and Soccer kits during our summer program to introduce students to skills before we held camps with local high school students and coaches in both of these sports. This built their basic knowledge and anticipation for the camps that followed. With students who move with their parents as they travel for work, these two programs are especially appropriate because the sports can be played with minimal equipment that they can take with them as they travel. It was a fun learning experience for all students and teachers!

I have used the Basketball & Soccer kits. They have been fun and fantastic. I was able to use them during Virtual learning as well. I modified the equipment the kids would use at home, but we made it work! What a blessing to have these kits. Once back at school it was a fun way to help with Physical distancing and keeping the kids active, engaged & build much needed relationships with their peers. Thank you so much for these fun activities.

We currently purchased Skillastics for this school years afterschool program. We are looking to add more movement to our program and teach the students different team building skills with the curriculum.

I really enjoy using Skillastics! I love the exercise and skills you learn for a specific game or skill. I have used the "board games" and digitally. My students LOVE it!

I haven't directly used the skillastics products but look probably once a month. I have gained a ton of ideas through your games and can see the benefit they provide. I would love to be considered for the 20th year anniversary.
