TOTS ON TURF on FOX NEWS
Both of my children have been enrolled at Tots on Turf as well as
similar classes for toddler/preschoolers. I can truly say that the
Tots on Turf program is far superior.
In addition to teaching sports skills -- balance, jumping, running,
and so forth, Coach Tim incorporates so many learning opportunities in
each class. Teamwork, respect for others, socialization, even color
recognition are a part of each session. The Tots on Turf curriculum is
consistent and so well thought out that the children really respond.

Saying my three year old son, Eric, is energetic would be an understatment.
He never stops moving, or talking for that matter, and has a hard time following
directions. So it was with both hope and fear that I signed him up for Tots on
Turf at the Beaumont YMCA. I hoped he would burn off some excess energy, but
feared we would not make it long in an organized sports class. But I knew after
the very first class that if Eric could make it anywhere this was the right
class, with the right Coach. Coach Tim was so patient with him. He made the
class fun, and gently encouraged Eric to participate. Eric had so much fun he
asked everyday that week if he had "soccer today". When he started the class
Eric always used his hands to pick up the ball instead of kicking it, he never
ran to the correct color cone, and he needed help with the obstacle course. By
the second class he knew all the cone colors and started doing some of the
obstacle course by himself. And over time his balance, coordination and basic
soccer skills have improved even more. He still has problems listening instead
of talking, but he is learning to be patient and wait his turn. Even after
three eight week sessions Eric still asks when he has "soccer". He is excited
about going every week and Coach Tim is a big part of that.

"We have really enjoyed having Isabela in Coach Tim's Monday morning class at the Beaumont YMCA. She loves running and doing the obstacle course. I have noticed that her balance and coordination seem to improve with every class. She responds well to Coach Tim and is so excited when we talk about going to soccer! This has been quite an enjoyable experience. - Jennifer Aldarondo"

My daugther Taiylor has improved her coordination greatly through Coach
Tim's classes. She is more confident and recently scored her first goal in a game.
I highly recommend his fun classes.

"
Tim Self has a unique ability to combine a very strong knowledge of the sport and playing experience with a personal touch that makes every kid feel comfortable playing regardless of their skill level.
His Demeanor with our son made him feel special and very eager to go to practice to learn more. I would highly recommend
Tim Self to any parent who has a child wanting to learn the basic skills or taking their game to the next level."
