After-School Fun at St. Pete's
Hi-Five After School is an active, engaging program designed for every child—whether they already love sports or simply enjoy playing, creating and spending time with friends. Each day includes a flexible mix of sports, group games, team challenges and other fun activities. No athletic experience is needed, and children are encouraged to participate at their own comfort level while building confidence, friendships and teamwork skills in a positive environment.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
After school, we’ll offer a mini-version of our famous Hi-Five Sports Camp that has thrived for over 35 years. Our After School Club gives children the chance to experience a variety of sports under the guidance of great coaches while building sportsmanship, teamwork, confidence, and most importantly — having FUN!
The Hi-Five After School Club will focus on many of the core sports featured in our Summer Camp program, including basketball, softball/baseball, football, soccer, lacrosse, hockey, and volleyball. We’ll also mix in plenty of fun PE-style and schoolyard games that keep kids moving, playing, and interacting with friends.
For kids who want a less active option on a given day, we’ll also offer a quieter activity space with arts & crafts, table games, and other creative activities. Kids can participate in the activities that best fit their interests and energy level while still being part of the Hi-Five experience.
Whether they make a mistake, lose a game, make a great play, or win, they’ll learn from the experience and keep playing. We believe the best way to teach kids sports is by helping them develop fundamentals, confidence, and a love of the game.
Above all else, we want Hi-Five to be FUN! Our goal is for every child to look forward to coming back and get a little taste of summer camp each week!
