GOAL Training
GOAL Training is a one-on-one physical activity coaching program for kids ages 7-15. Participants are paired up with an IU Kinesiology student who is completing their Fitness Specialist Practicum course. The IU student trainers will develop individualized activity plans for the kids based on their skills and interests and will meet weekly with them to lead them through games and activities to help develop physical activity skills and confidence.
GOAL Training takes place on Wednesday nights at the Banneker Community Center in Bloomington from 6:30-7:30pm. All kids and their trainers meet together in the Banneker gym but work one-on-one together moving through different activities and stations. GOAL Training lasts 5 weeks and we offer two different rotations throughout the semester. The program is offered in both fall and spring semesters.
