JETS strives to keep fun in the game

JETS Athletics

 

JETS ATHLETICS has been in operation in Strathmore since 1995. Adapting and evolving to meet the needs of Strathmore Youth specifically, our JETS name stands for “Just Enjoy The Sport.” We strive to make learning the various sports fun, exciting, and challenging. We strongly encourage good sportsmanship, with little emphasis on keeping score or statistics until the players are older. All of our programs are designed to keep children active and to develop their athletic abilities, while building self-esteem in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Sportsmanship, fitness, and skill development are all emphasized and all children are encouraged to participate, regardless of their previous experiences and abilities. Coach Pat Fule, a high school teacher, has over 30 years of coaching experience and has worked with children of all ages and abilities in a variety of sports. Coach Fule is constantly adapting his lessons to meet the needs of his participants. 

JETS has been a regular sports fixture on Monday nights in Strathmore for many years. We offer basketball, badminton, and volleyball programs to children from Grades 1-9 and would love for you to join us. Our programs are designed so that when one sport ends, the next one begins, allowing children to stay active throughout the school year and participate in all three of our sports programs if they choose. 

The two following programs will be offered after this basketball season. Jets Badminton will start on December 5 and run till March 12, 2012 with 8 sessions. Stars Volleyball will run a 10-week session from March 19 through to June 4. Any and all information can be found by contacting jetsathletics@shaw.ca or by calling 403-934-4599.
