Buildwave® | A hands-on building game! - Buildwave (K-2nd grade)
Looking for ways to expand your child's creativity? When things don't go their way, can they adapt? Buildwave® is a STEAM + SEL course that helps your child discover their creativity and resilience. During each class, your child will receive wave after wave of materials they'll love like blocks, bricks, and other hands-on pieces. The waves of building are structured like a game, with energetic music and visuals elevating the experience for maximum engagement. Each wave, they build, then disassemble. Build, disassemble. Repeat. It's an opportunity for your child to discover their creativity again and again, but it's also an opportunity for them to fail without judgment. Builds will fall down. Friends will be reluctant to share. We guide your child through these moments of frustration and equip them with strategies to adapt. To them, they're playing an outrageously fun game, but they're also learning fundamental skills they'll carry forever. Learn more at www.buildwave.com.

Winter Indoor Tennis at Newton South - Red Ball for Ages 4-5 and Ages 6-8
Join us for indoor tennis this Winter with JXS Tennis Academy. All players need to bring their own racket and bottle of water. Please bring a clean, dry pair of sneakers for the gym. If it is raining or snowy outside this may mean bringing a separate pair of sneakers to change into.Because of the scheduling of classes and limited time availability, make-ups are not offered for this program if you need to miss a class.What do the ball colors mean?Red Ball: 19/21-inch rackets are used with red felt balls. This means children can control the ball and racket, develop proper swing technique and get a real sense of playing the game.Orange Ball: 21/23-inch rackets are used with an orange ball that is lower compression that travels a little faster and farther than the red ball. Players are taught proper technique for all strokes-focusing on ground stroke development, net play and serving. Footwork and beginning level of basic strategy – how to keep score and rally.Green Ball: 25/27 inch rackets are used. The green ball has less pressure than the standard yellow ball (75% pressure) and easier to hit. This stage is for players that can rally, volley and beginning to understand strategy and tactics.Yellow Ball: Is designed for high school and adult competitive players. Designed for players that have the ability and strength to use a standard size tennis ball.Joe SmithJXS Tennis Academy339-225-1067

Buildwave® | A hands-on building game! - Buildwave (K-2nd grade)
Looking for ways to expand your child's creativity? When things don't go their way, can they adapt? Buildwave® is a STEAM + SEL course that helps your child discover their creativity and resilience. During each class, your child will receive wave after wave of materials they'll love like blocks, bricks, and other hands-on pieces. The waves of building are structured like a game, with energetic music and visuals elevating the experience for maximum engagement. Each wave, they build, then disassemble. Build, disassemble. Repeat. It's an opportunity for your child to discover their creativity again and again, but it's also an opportunity for them to fail without judgment. Builds will fall down. Friends will be reluctant to share. We guide your child through these moments of frustration and equip them with strategies to adapt. To them, they're playing an outrageously fun game, but they're also learning fundamental skills they'll carry forever. Learn more at www.buildwave.com.

Join us for indoor tennis this Winter with JXS Tennis Academy. All players need to bring their own racket and bottle of water. Please bring a clean, dry pair of sneakers for the gym. If it is raining or snowy outside this may mean bringing a separate pair of sneakers to change into.Because of the scheduling of classes and limited time availability, make-ups are not offered for this program if you need to miss a class.What do the ball colors mean?Red Ball: 19/21-inch rackets are used with red felt balls. This means children can control the ball and racket, develop proper swing technique and get a real sense of playing the game.Orange Ball: 21/23-inch rackets are used with an orange ball that is lower compression that travels a little faster and farther than the red ball. Players are taught proper technique for all strokes-focusing on ground stroke development, net play and serving. Footwork and beginning level of basic strategy – how to keep score and rally.Green Ball: 25/27 inch rackets are used. The green ball has less pressure than the standard yellow ball (75% pressure) and easier to hit. This stage is for players that can rally, volley and beginning to understand strategy and tactics.Yellow Ball: Is designed for high school and adult competitive players. Designed for players that have the ability and strength to use a standard size tennis ball.Joe SmithJXS Tennis Academy339-225-1067

Buildwave® | A hands-on building game! - Buildwave (K-2nd grade)
Looking for ways to expand your child's creativity? When things don't go their way, can they adapt? Buildwave® is a STEAM + SEL course that helps your child discover their creativity and resilience. During each class, your child will receive wave after wave of materials they'll love like blocks, bricks, and other hands-on pieces. The waves of building are structured like a game, with energetic music and visuals elevating the experience for maximum engagement. Each wave, they build, then disassemble. Build, disassemble. Repeat. It's an opportunity for your child to discover their creativity again and again, but it's also an opportunity for them to fail without judgment. Builds will fall down. Friends will be reluctant to share. We guide your child through these moments of frustration and equip them with strategies to adapt. To them, they're playing an outrageously fun game, but they're also learning fundamental skills they'll carry forever. Learn more at www.buildwave.com.

Buildwave® | A hands-on building game! - Buildwave (3rd - 5th grade)
Looking for ways to expand your child's creativity? When things don't go their way, can they adapt? Buildwave® is a STEAM + SEL course that helps your child discover their creativity and resilience. During each class, your child will receive wave after wave of materials they'll love like blocks, bricks, and other hands-on pieces. The waves of building are structured like a game, with energetic music and visuals elevating the experience for maximum engagement. Each wave, they build, then disassemble. Build, disassemble. Repeat. It's an opportunity for your child to discover their creativity again and again, but it's also an opportunity for them to fail without judgment. Builds will fall down. Friends will be reluctant to share. We guide your child through these moments of frustration and equip them with strategies to adapt. To them, they're playing an outrageously fun game, but they're also learning fundamental skills they'll carry forever. Learn more at www.buildwave.com.
