OVERVIEW
Fast Feet partners with school communities to support children ages 5+ with unique needs in learning about movement and regularly engaging in recreational activities. Our programs are adaptive and can fully support individuals with both developmental and physical disabilities.
We provide school partners with our robust curriculum ideal for classes of 5-15 students. Our curriculum includes the following:
Physical Components: warm-ups, speed/endurance, agility, cool down, stretching, balance, coordination and running form.
Socio-emotional Development: Teamwork, friendship, leadership, accountability and transitioning from one activity to the next.
Weekly 30-45 minute lessons that can be modified and differentiated to accommodate the unique needs of each of your students
Equipment: One set of agility ladder, mini hurdles, cones, batons, bean bags, hoops and one sports ball
Modifications of all exercises to support students with limited walking mobility and for individuals in wheelchairs
PROGRAM PATHWAYS - Outlined below are the two distinct pathways we provide for in-school programs
Option 1: In-Person Coaching
This program is ideal for school communities who are enthusiastic about incorporating adaptive recreational programs into students’ school day but seek experienced personnel to lead the programs effectively. Fast Feet will provide a highly trained teacher to visit your school to lead weekly practices.
Scheduling of this program is flexible with the needs of each school partner and can be provided during the school day or after school.
Option 2: CURRICULUM CONSULTING & STAFF TRAINING
This program is ideal for school communities interested in implementing our curriculum internally with existing school personnel. Fast Feet will provide a two-hour training session to school staff which overviews our curriculum and best practices in delivering weekly lessons.
To ensure a successful implementation of our programs, we provide ongoing support to partner schools who choose Option 2 in the following ways:
Lesson plans sent week-to-week, providing opportunities for questions and communication
Monthly in-person visits from Fast Feet leadership to support program implementation and offer feedback
Weekly “office hours” check-ins via Zoom
Unlimited email communication
Data tracking regarding our eight benchmarks
End-of-Year Track Meet organized at a local track for entire school
