SGR Comprehensive Skill Development
-
Children from the age of 3 to 17 years can participate & learn the required and essential skills through hands on teaching & sharing knowledge. We pride ourselves in teaching kids a healthy & safe way to enjoy sports in an environment that is conducive to learning.
-
We ensure that the child gets the benefit of enjoying physical education while learning important developmental skills and promoting mental growth.
-
One of our key focuses - the importance of discipline, respect and commitment.
-
Teaching the skills linked to school preparation readiness, forms a fundamental part in early childhood development.
-
Children with a good movement foundation, develop greater self confidence and self esteem, and naturally want to participate in any activity.
-
Early physical education develops a whole new range of key life skills, improve behavior & attitude to help young people make better lifestyle choices.
-
Our main goal: Through weekly comprehensive skill development sessions, assist the children in developing their full potential according to their specific ability.
