If I am not providing info you are looking for specifically, please let me know and I will get it for you!

Basketball-

Most local high schools put on basketball camps for ages 3rd grade and up (this is if you are going into the third grade). They are typically the first full week right after school gets out in June. My son did the American Fork High School camp this year and LOVED it! It was a lot of fun, he did it with a lot of his friends. He learned a lot, had fun, and got to know a lot of the Varsity Basketball players for the upcoming year.

Basketball

Basketball season is over for most, so I will post more in the fall. But there are some places that offer basketball skill classes all year round, plus many camps during the summer.

xsiFactory(Formally known as Open Court or the Flash Factory)

www.xsifactory.com

They offer an fundamental skills class ages K-4th grade. (Boys and girls)

My two older boys have both taken this class ad have loved it. The coaches there are great with kids and very knowledgeable about the sport, sometimes slightly unorganized, but for the most part they do a good job.

*The have sessions all year round, each session is 7 weeks and is $125.00

There is also a Boys Advanced Skills class, no age is specified, but in the past it has been for 5th grade and up.

*It is $175.00 for 7 weeks

Girls Basketball skills camp

*Ages 3rd grade-8th grade

$125 for 7 weeks

There is also a Summer youth camp at xsifactory that we will be sending our son to-more info coming under Summer Camps.

Golf

My second son is my golfer. He has such a passion for it so I am always looking for golf programs, lessons, camps, and tournaments for him to participate in.

Golf Lessons

Last year, he did a Golf Academy with Gina Higbee at Fox Hollow golf course. It was once a week for 90 min for eight weeks. It was a lot of fun for him, and he definitely learned a lot. She starts as young as 6, and goes up to age 15. Gina also offers summer camps and private lessons. For more information go to www.ginahigbeegolf.com

Spring Soccer

www.northutahcountysoccer.com

My kids have always played North Utah County Soccer. They play on the same team they played on last fall, so there was no need to register for Soccer this Spring. They do provide a waiting list for kids that would like to start in the spring, but I just checked the website and they are no longer accepting names for the waiting list. Registration for the 2011-2012 season begins April 1st, 2011. check the website for more info.

Swimming Lessons

It's that time of year again, when we all try to eat right and work out so we can look our best at the swimming pools this summer. You may be also thinking about putting your kids into swim lessons.

I did the public pool lessons for a little bit, which ended up being a waste of time and money. Instead I invested in swim lessons from a good friend of mine, JoD O'Neal of O'neal Aquatics. I started my oldest when he was three, my second child started at 12 months, my youngest started at 6 months. They all swim great!

*It is a private one on one lesson for 20 minutes each day. A session is 10 lessons, $15 per lesson. It is costly, but you will see results! (If they are starting out, they may need more than one session)

*I do have to warn you, they are very strict during the lessons, but kind at the same time. It may be difficult for you to watch, but JoD and her instructors do know what they are doing, and I promise your kid will learn to swim. It will all be worth it, I promise!

*Lessons are taught at her home (in Pleasant Grove) in a private pool all year round.

*For more information, you can call them @ 801-796-9673 or add O'Neal Aquatics as a friend on facebook. http://www.onealaquatics.com/

*They also offer a swim team for young children as well as older. It is very low key and a lot of fun! All of my boys have done it and have loved it!

* Games start in late April and end in June.

*There is a draft done each year to divide the teams evenly, and there is also a tournament at the end of the season, as well as an opportunity play on an All-star team.

*This is a little more competitive league than your typical rec baseball league.

*There are Minor and Major leagues as well, that are kid-pitch leagues.
