Engaging in sports and physical activities can have a positive impact on mental health for kids. Physical activity, including sports, helps to reduce the production of stress hormones such as cortisol. Regular exercise can help alleviate the physical and emotional symptoms of stress. It also releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. This can lead to improved mood and reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. Physical activities will provide opportunities for social interaction and the development of a support system. Social connections can protect against feelings of loneliness and isolation.

We are located in Cedar Park, Texas where we invite children and adults from Leander, Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, North Austin, Round Rock, and Georgetown.
