[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our PTA offers a sports and games class as an after school activity.  It is once a week, right after school.    Every week they learned a new a game/activity.  My daughter loved it.  Its run by Sports and Games for Kids, LLC.  The owner is Chris Kurtzman.  So, maybe check with your school PTA?  I know the Town of Vienna used too offer a sports and games class through their rec center.   But it might have been for toddlers.   [/quote]

This would be perfect! I googled it and it looks like it's only in Virginia -- we're in DC. Too bad.[/quote]
We're in MD, and I would love this kind of activity for my kids, too.

TIC summer camp has this, though it's obviously just in the summer. Half day tech/half day "athletics", which can be either sports, or these kinds of physical games.  My 10 yr old DS *loves* the athletic games sometimes more than the tech class, and he is a tech geek.[/quote]

OP here. My daughter loves TIC too; I was surprised the first summer when she loved the "athletics" as much as the tech.

I spent a good portion of my K-12 years looking for ways to avoid PE; I'm thrilled that they are now teaching PE in a way that even non-athletic kids can enjoy it. But it's sad that kids are now expected to specialize in one sport and be serious about it at a much earlier age.[/quote]

PP here. I agree. I think these kinds of athletic games really appeal to kids that are not into competitive sports, but still  like to run and play.  I would contact that guy and ask if he'd be willing to come to DC/MD area.  I've often wondered if one of the athletic camp counselors at TIC who are local would be willing to do afterschool activities once a week as a job or something, or hire them for a bday party.  My son loves the athletic camp counselors.[/quote]
