Children's Activities

Families keep coming to Martin Downs Sports Resort for one big reason -- we have the programs and facilities to keep children of all ages busy and satisfied. We are committed to providing your kids with plenty of fun and enriching activities to keep them active. All of our children’s programs are designed to enhance your child’s athletic abilities, cultivate friendships, and provide a healthy sense of balance for both parents and kids.

Fitness Programs

Friday Night Fitness 5-8:00 p.m.
Friday Night Fitness is a new, innovative way of making exercise FUN! We have created a positive atmosphere that is enthusiastic, fun, healthy and safe for students from kindergarten through fifth grade. The groups are designed to be small and age appropriate with lots of one-on-one instructional time. Our goal is to introduce new fitness games and instill the importance of team work and playing with others while also teaching how to lead a healthy lifestyle. Together we will not only educate your child in the importance of exercising, but how to be a well-rounded person, focusing on good sportsmanship and fair play.

Our positive approach with children seems to spread quickly across every group. If everyone around you is happy and having fun, than you are that much more likely to join in!

Activities:

Pool games (with lifeguard)
Noodle tag
Lacrosse
Parachute games
Soccer
Fitness stations
Scooter hockey
Flag football
Tennis
Many, many more!

Dinner:
A child-friendly dinner will be served as a culmination activity at the end of the night. The dinners usually consist of a salad, drink, entrée (usually pasta, pizza or chicken) and dessert.
