Youth Sports 101: Kick Scooter Tips for Moms and Dads

The more teaching options parents have regarding youth sports the better. This video demonstrates for parents the child educational development that can occur after kick scooter use. Very few parents realize their 2 year old’s practice on the device can lead to life long full body physical literacy which leads to Olympic cross country ski development. Take special notice of how the athlete, Enrique Cubillo, switch kicks the adult scooter he is on. Switch kicking requires only dedicated practice to kick on both sides of the board with even cadence. Switch kick practice leads to the CXC stroke in the new simplified form of cross country skiing known as SpikeBoarding. SpikeBoarding development serves as a foundation sport for roller skiing. Roller skiing is rarely practiced by American youth. Roller skiing is the ultimate land based propulsion sport delivering strength, endurance and balance that benefits all middle and high school field sport players. Imagine roller skiing to be the same challenge as swimming butterfly technically. Only the best swimmers dominate mastery of butterfly swimming. Roller skiing is no different. Roller skiing is practiced by Ivy League and Olympic skiers a full 70% of the year. Aiming to have your child master roller skiing is the same as reaching the highest levels of education and civic achievement. The kick scooter your child is on right now is step one to developing SpikeBoarding mastery and SpikeBoarding eases athletes into roller skiing as no activity ever before has. Imagine playing big games of Marco Polo in a pool or water polo endlessly then stepping up to butterfly swimming. The former creates mastery during a very fun phase and preparing youth to then be so inclined to step up to the ultimate challenge of Olympic style cross country skiing on wheels or in the case of water polo, the butterfly stroke.. email us today to begin your child on an endless journey of movement language learning they will never stop speaking.
