Our Standards
At Jelly Bean Sports, Inc. we know you seek the best in child sports development. In order to provide the best, we are committed to being the best. Beyond our experience working with children, it has been our dedication to research that has helped us determine what is best for young children’s athletic development. Medical doctors, psychologists, top coaches, champion athletes, and the parents of champion athletes have helped set the precedence for our world-class quality standards. The minimums others find excessive, we find only reasonable considering the impressionable minds we work with.
At Jelly Bean Sports, Inc. we take our role of teaching children very seriously. Many can teach sports, but few, if any, can do it as well as a Jelly Bean Instructor. As a parent, you can count on your child’s Jelly Bean Instructor being college educated and having no less than five years experience working with children. After a thorough background check, they receive 30 hours of training in the areas of child development, coaching theory, classroom facilitation, safety, group dynamics and leadership. They are certified not only by Jelly Bean Sports, Inc. but also by the National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS).
Jelly Bean Sports, Inc. epitomizes effective youth sports instruction continuing to revolutionize it and educate parents and coaches on its importance.
What is effective youth sports instruction?
Youth sports instruction is a method of developing beginner athletes’ fundamental sport skills. Effective youth sports instruction goes well beyond having a knowledge for sport. At Jelly Bean Sports, Inc. we introduce and prepare children for the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of sports. As we make learning fun for children, we are also providing them with an early competitive advantage developing what coaches are looking for.
What are the top three things sports coaches want?
- A positive attitude
- A love of the game
- Players who are “coachable”
We believe effective youth sports instruction occurs when children do most of the work.
We believe children should acquire sports knowledge and skill (doing) rather than merely receive it (being told).
What effective youth sports instruction IS
- Fun
- Educational
- Structured
- Maturing
- Engaging
- Age Appropriate
What effective youth sports instruction is NOT
- Play Time
- Show and Tell
- Standing Around
- A Competition
- Undisciplined
We are revolutionizing youth sports instruction by offering modes of instruction that accomodate a 60-90% learning retention rate.
What this means is your child will remember more of what they are taught. By keeping sports simple and making learning fun, Jelly Bean Sports, Inc. is preparing children to take better direction and become more “coachable” athletes tomorrow.
Our Primary Mission:
Making Kids “Coachable” by Making Learning Fun®
