The Ready, Set, Run! program has already been quite a success and is creating a lot of buzz among the communities that have conducted a program thus far. Take a minute to read the comments below that our staff has received from those involved with the program.
"My daughter (age 8) LOVES Ready, Set, Run! She is fond of the coaches (they are great!), enjoys the other children, and is feeling great about her running. She has been noticing her muscles "growing" and is excited to go every time. It's been a great self-esteem builder for her, in addition to being great exercise." - RSR Parent
"I was talking to the coach this morning and said he can't wait for each session. He said the kids are great, almost like one big family. He is really enjoying this program. Although our coach has several kids in this program that have participated in other programs with him in the past, we have a lot of new kids that are participating with him for the first time in the Ready, Set, Run. I believe we are reaching a different group of children and filling another recreational need with this program by helping them to be active and learn many values while having fun." - RSR Coordinator
"The Ready, Set, Run! program is really nice. I like how it reinforces rules and values to our kids on top of teaching them the right way of exercising. The communication is excellent like today's email reminding where the practice is going to be :)." - RSR Parent
"This program really did keep my son happy. Since he had broken his clavicle in March, he was told he couldn't play in any sports. The doctor said that the only thing he could do was run. He is able to keep healthy and it's teaching him how to be more healthy. This class was just what he needed." - RSR Parent
"My son is enjoying the program so far, seems to be having fun and getting stronger. He looks forward to each practice." - RSR Parent
