We’ll do everything from freeze tag to egg races to obstacle course runs to learning the fundamentals of soccer and basketball. All of the games we play are designed to help kids build gross motor skills while instilling a joy around being active. We’ll combine high activity games with those that will allow kids to have some “down time.” Our instructors are trained to specifically work with preschool aged children and they understand the unique needs of children this age. Children must be toilet trained.

Age 5-12 with T-SPORTS Staff, www.TSPORTS650.com Skill Sessions take place on Sundays for players who wish to brush up on fundamentals during the off season. During the session players will develop their offensive, defensive and game time skills.

We understand many players move on to play basketball, soccer and other sports this time of year but still want to keep their baseball IQ in tact. The short clinic is a fun and exciting way for players to refresh their memories on any tips and tricks they received during the Summer Camp Season. Skill Sessions are a good fit for players new to the game looking to establish the basics, but also advanced players trying to take their game to the next level. Coaches teach with enthusiasm and passion and new and exciting aspects of the game are covered each session with an emphasis on teamwork.

Working together towards a common goal is a constant theme not only during Skill Sessions but is found in any T-Sports environment.

We believe that in order for a player to excel individually, that player must first excel as a member of the team! Questions? Email TSPORTS650@gmail.com Location: Burton Park, Aberdeen Dr, San Carlos

JU-JITSU / KARATE / ESCRIMA

Age 4+ (or upon instructors approval) with Sensei Stephen Tuazon, 5th degree Black Belt in Danzan Ryu Jujitsu & Kosho Ryu Kenpo Karate. Student of Professor James Muro, 30+ years of experience.

Do you want your child to be happy and well-adjusted or well-rounded?

Happy doesn’t have to be for just an hour. This program will teach your child discipline, focus and respect as well as how to defend themselves.

This course covers Karate (kicking and punching), Jujitsu (grappling and body throws) as well as Escrima (weapons training).

Free Uniform for new students. Questions? Please call Sensei Stephen Tuazon (650) 787-3735 or email: stephent228@gmail.com.

LEARN TO BREW YOUR OWN KOMBUCHA! NEW

with Lila Volkas Have you heard of Kombucha, the beverage the ancient Chinese called the “Immortal Health Elixir?” It’s been around for more than 2,000 years and has a rich anecdotal history of health benefits like improving digestion, boosting energy and helping your immune system.

It is made from sweetened tea that’s been fermented by a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (a SCOBY, a.k.a. “mother” because of its ability to reproduce, or “mushroom” because of its appearance).

By brewing your own Kombucha, you save money that would be otherwise spent on commercially produced Kombucha and get to play around with your favorite flavors!

Participants will receive a Kombucha Brewing Kit including a SCOBY, starter liquid and an illustrated “how to” guide. NO REFUNDS 7

BEGINNING DOG OBEDIENCE (DOGS 4 MONTHS +)

Family Members Age 11+ with Paige Tyson. Questions about class content? Call 209.532.6269 Beginning: In this class, your dog is taught to sit, down, stay, come, heel and easy (walking nicely at the end of the leash without pulling).

The dog is taught to move freely and easily with the collar, so one day you barely have to use it. The dog is also taught to perform things and to willingly do or not do things, not just be prevented from doing them. Verbal and/or physical praise from owner is given. This builds a relationship between owner and dog. Any specific problems you are having will be addressed and cured in class or by a lifestyle change at home. You will need a 6 foot comfortable leash. Instructor will supply the nylon collar.

Tutors meet with their student once a week for approximately one hour. Tutoring times are flexible. There are always more students in need than there are tutors, so your help is greatly needed. No prior tutoring experience is necessary.

For more information call (650) 508-7327 or email info@ healthycitiestutoring.org or visit www.healthycitiestutoring.org.

Please join us and help make a difference for the children in our community.

Meditation CHAKRA MEDITATION NEW

Age 13+ with Vera Quijano, www.VeraQuijano.com Chakras are junction points of spiraling energy that govern your physical, mental, and emotional wellness. They correlate with specific structures and functions of your body, and are heavily influenced by various circumstances in your life. When these wheels of energy endure stress, your body mind coordination is disrupted, and life may become overwhelming.

Mantras are sounds that are repeated to aid in concentration. This guided meditation class is designed to utilize mantras to help you heal your seven primary chakras, coordinate and balance the energy between them, and revive your personal power to energize them. The ultimate intention of this practice is to help you create harmony and restore peace to your everyday life.

Appropriate for men, women, and teens. Wear comfortable clothing. If preferred, bring a pillow or blanket to sit on.
