First Players Club Programs are designed using the National Alliance of Youth Sports Curriculum and Programs. These programs are part of the Smart Start Youth Development Process. Each program is designed for a specific audience and developmental stage within a child’s sports career.

Each program emphasizes Eye & Hand Coordination, following directions, physical development and balance for greater success as your child develops specific athletic skills. Young children typically age 4-5 are not always ready for team sports. These programs are skill based and taught in a non-competitive environment.

Poquoson Parks and Recreation also offers other than those listed here throughout the calendar year:
