Sports play a vital role in the lives of many kids.
It is their way to channel frustration and energy, learn the importance of both success and failure, and to come together as part of a team.
With the sudden ending of extracurricular and organized sports, we know that kids are looking for ways to continue practice their chosen sport (or sports). So, we’ve put together a list of five sports that can be practiced at home while maintaining social distancing.
Karate
Church’s Karate Academy provides daily powerful character trait videos geared towards kids and teens of all ages. Each video is 1-2 minutes long and 
covers a variety of topics such as patience, respect, confidence, and more. Click here to view the first video in the series.
Virtual group and private Zoom karate classes for all CKA students will continue throughout the summer. New students — sign-up today and receive 2 weeks free!
