Xcite Steps Tennis Fall 2011-1 

Xcite Steps Art Program Fall Adult 2011  

Children and teens experiencing a disability often miss out on the opportunity to be part of a sports team. The feelings of excitement, camaraderie, devotion, commitment and sacrifice are all key ingredients to the characteristics one learns in a team environment. These same emotions and lessons are created when a participant joins one of our sports leagues in San Diego.

“Boosting confidence and gaining a feeling of achievement”

Our unique approach

All the Xcite Steps sports leagues in San Diego are customized and structured in a way that the participants can learn at their own pace and succeed at their own level. Each sport league has one professional instructor who teaches the skills and is assisted by our experienced mentors keeping at most a three to one ratio.

Each San Diego league is eight weeks long and during each session we have our practices. Practice is a combination of drills, games and team exercises. Each participant is given a specific role in the group promoting their strengths and at the end of the program each child will be awarded a metal or trophy.

Video Game Club

Playing video games is typically a socially isolated activity that kids or teens enjoy at home, but XciteSteps has created a great social opportunity for kids to share their experiences and knowledge with their peers in a fun and natural social group setting.

The XciteSteps Gaming Club will use non-violent video games to facilitate social interaction in a comfortable, natural and coached environment. We have built a relationship with Club Lan, a video gaming lounge in Point Loma that has a variety of different consoles and games for the kids and teens to play.  During the club, our social coaches (3 to 1 ratio) will take the group of kids and teens to the gaming center and facilitate positive competitions, team play, prizes and enjoy pizza and drinks. The goal of this club is for the participants to make friends, build confidence in their social abilities and have a positive, natural social experience.
