KYDC seminars

The Kinzua Youth Development Center will sponsor a Sport Development Camp scheduled for June 23-26 from 10-11:15 a.m. at the KYDC Center, 200 Struthers St. The camp activities are provided at no cost to participants, and the curriculum is designed for children ages 6 to 11. The focus of this camp is for children to develop the basic locomotor/movement skills needed to become a scholastic/collegiate athlete or at the very least to become a “competent mover” who can enjoy sport throughout life.

Dr. Dan McLaughlin, a professor at Wingate University in Charlotte, North Carolina, will lead the camp activities and he will be assisted by several area high school athletes. Dr. McLaughlin is a former college tennis player/coach and was recently named college physical education teacher of the year in North Carolina.

Parents interested in registering their children should go to https://kinzuawrestlingclub.com/kydc-sport-development-camp and enroll them and sign an online participation/waiver agreement. The camp is limited to 30 children.

Dr. McLaughlin will also present an educational seminar for parents and youth sport coaches on how to develop athletic abilities during the early stages of life, childhood through adolescence. The seminar will be held on Wednesday, June 25 from 6-8 p.m. at the KYDC, 200 Struthers St.

The seminar will discuss issues like: How soon is it too soon to compete? How often should a child train and at what intensity? Are children to be coached as “mini-adults?” What is the optimal age to specialize in a sport? And finally, why is it that 70% of youngsters quit sport by age 14?

On Tuesday, June 24, from 6-8 p.m., Dr. McLaughlin will host a leadership seminar for high school athletes who are leaders on their scholastic sport teams. The seminar designed for those in the “captain roles” will be held at the KYDC, 200 Struthers St.

The seminar will discuss the role of leaders on a sport team. Please email drdennisajohnson@gmail.com or call 704-989-2520 for questions and/or to reserve a spot at the event.
