Cottontails (2.5-3.5 years)
Cottontails is a class designed for children who are ready for more of a
challenge than a Thumpers class, but who are not quite ready to be on the field
without a parent or caregiver. The Cottontails curriculum is designed to build
fundamental skills such as balance, coordination, and ball skills. Cottontails
classes also offer another component-helping your child build a sense of
independence. As children progress through the session and become ready for more
independence, parents can choose to transition to a less active role in the
class, helping prepare the child to transition to the next level.
