The Skillastics Upgraded Package comes with everything from the actual package as well as some upgraded equipment as well. Now if you don’t know what comes with the Skillastics after school package please go back to that page in the catalog use the QR code and you’ll find out everything that you get with that after school package.
Now with this upgraded package, like I said you do get some upgraded equipment as well. So what is the upgraded equipment, well first our soccer balls, our tennis racquets, and our tennis balls are all the normal equipment that you get in our ultimate package so that equipment stays the same now remember those tennis balls are already slightly modified consider that foam consistency they move a little bit slower to give these kids a positive experience as they are learning tennis.
Now moving to that upgraded category, you get upgraded basketballs the materials used for these basketballs are above what the standard is okay, so we have those premier basketballs they’re gonna last longer, durable, feel better when you dribble with them and those are your upgraded basketballs.
Then in addition to that, you are also gonna get an upgraded volleyball, now these volleyballs are still the official size but they are actually lighter in weight because what is the number one complaint when kids learn volleyball? My wrists hurts. Right. Because that volleyball stings their wrists, and it hurts when they hit with it. So, we used these modified volleyballs so that that stings isn’t there. So these kids have their positive experience learning these volleyball skills and if they love it then they can progress on and they can use an official volleyball.
So it is absolutely worth it if it is in your budget to get the upgraded equipment to continue to get these kids a positive experience being physically active, we know you’re gonna have so much fun using all the Skillastics kits, all the lesson plans, all these equipment. Let’s have some fun and get these kids moving.
I’m gonna share with you how the celebrated skillastics technique works. You lay this oversized mat in the middle of a plain area. You take the same color dice and beanbag markers and lay them on the same color start button on the oversized mat. You take a group of kids and divide them into six teams, assigning each team of color, and then you put the teams away from this big mat. Each team gets a miniature mat in their team area as a reference.
When the kids are in their team area, you have them number off so they know how to take turns. The way it starts is you just say, go or turn on music, and the first child from each team comes running to their color. So six kids come running to their color, they roll their dice, whatever they roll, they land on an activity they look at, look at the activity, run back to their group, point it out on the miniature mat, and everybody in that group has to do that activity together.
How many repetitions do they do? Well on each activity, there’s three different colored numbers on the bottom. They represent beginning, intermediate, or advanced repetitions. So before you even start as the instructor, you would say, today group, you’re gonna do the blue amount. So the kids know that whenever they land on an activity, they’re gonna do the blue amount of repetitions. So you’ve got six teams moving independently, but everybody moving, everybody active at one time. Now the worst thing you can do is just lay this out and say play, because the kids are not familiar with the activities yet.
So each of our skillastics activity kits include task cards, and in our instructional manuals, we have so many lead up games and activities that will familiarize the kids with the activities prior to play. Now each of our skillastics activity kits come in these convenient carriage bags. Very easy to store, very easy to transport. This is the foundation of the Skillastics program and all the variations that are a part of it.
