As parents there is one truth we can all agree on; kids ask for more, more candy, more toys, more time to play before bed, more hugs – those are the best and always a yes! However, more times than not we have to say, ‘No.’ But what would you say if your child wants to play more than one sport?
SHOULD YOU RAISE A MULTI-SPORT ATHLETE? THIS TIME THE ANSWER IS YES!

Why We Look Back
Dec 19, 2019 10:53:00 AM / by JumpBunch posted in Kid's Fitness, healthy children, Lifestyle, Fitness for Kids
Think of all the things that have come to an end for you this year, either big or small. What do we all tend to do once that ending occurs? We look back. There are many reasons why we do this, but perhaps the most common is to remind ourselves of what we want the future to look like. Looking back allows us to reflect on what we want to repeat, improve, or avoid going forward. 2019 is coming to an end in just a few more days. Amid all the things you might look back on across the past 12 months, we hope that you acknowledge the things you want to repeat or improve on as it relates to your family's physical health.
A Child's View...Something To Be Thankful For
Nov 21, 2019 1:20:37 PM / by JumpBunch posted in Family Fitness, Physical Education, kids and activity, Fitness for Kids, Exercises for Kids
Not once in all of the years that JumpBunch has been offering sports and fitness classes for kids has there ever been a case where a child didn't want to play. They might have been shy at first or otherwise reluctant to "jump" right in, but the desire to do so was certainly there. Right now, I am thankful that we can look through the eyes of a child and be reminded as adults that play is a natural part of us all, and it is only with age that we start to choose not to make it part of our lives.
What Do We Do For Fun? We Go To Work!

The classes that we teach for your kids are often not easy. Long before we arrive at the school there is lesson plan review, equipment organization, loading in the car, and a few other more administrative things that we won't bore you with! We do all of this to create the best possible experience so that your child will want more of the classes we offer. We do all of this just to have some fun, and when it is time to have that fun, We Go To Work!
Is Preschool Sports and Fitness Important?

There is an approach to time management that is measured by how important and urgent something is.
Essentially, running everything you have to do through a filter for importance allows you to determine where to best apply your time... and what tasks to not do at all. Still curious how it works? We've identified four "buckets" that can be used as a filter.
Those same questions can be easily applied to answer the question, "Is preschool sports and fitness important?"
Nutrition Matters
Feb 28, 2019 11:04:19 AM / by JumpBunch posted in Healthy Kids, Nutrition, Physical Education
For any active person, eating the right things and avoiding too much of other things is important to have enough energy and to be healthy. With kids, it is just as critical for them to learn this early as it is for them to learn that being active is important...and of course fun!

The Coach

Taking a second to look up the formal definition of words is a practice that can add a lot of clarity and focus to things. In our classes, we call our instructors "coach". Below are the various ways the dictionary defines that word.
