Amazing Athletes is back, under new management, with the fun and challenging classes your children love!
Get active with Amazing Athletes this winter at AXIS!  
In Amazing Athletes (Preschool & PreK) kids will learn the basics of 10 different sports in a fun, non-competitive, learning- based environment.  These include football, baseball, volleyball, soccer, hockey, track & field, golf, tennis, basketball and lacrosse. Each week we warm up with kid friendly exercises, work on speed and agility in our obstacle course, cover skills in two sports, and even learn muscle terminology and nutrition in this action packed 45-minute class.  
In Amazing Athletes PE (K-2) we will build on these multi-sport skills in fun, team-oriented games that build knowledge and self-confidence in an expanded 60-minute class.
About the teacher, Logan Hastings: Coach Logan has over 15 years experience coaching developmental, recreation and competitive sports.  She owned the Amazing Athletes program, running classes across Colorado from 2009-2021, and she and her husband were thrilled to be asked to return this fall!  She grew up a competitive swimmer and tennis player, finished top 10 in her age group in the Breckenridge Spartan Beast and was part of a national champion women's bowling team.

Our Mission it to provide Taekwondo instruction allowing students to develop leadership and teamwork skills using equitable practices.

Outside of teaching Taekwondo, Jenny works full-time at CSU and Jiri is a Park Ranger for Colorado Parks and Wildlife Services.
Students can expect to learn Olympic-style Taekwondo also known as World Federation Taekwondo. Our classes look different each day, so one day you can expect an obstacle course or balancing games and the next day we may be sparring or practicing kicking and punching. We want students to not only learn the Taekwondo curriculum but to have fun while doing it. We have students taking part for a variety reasons, some are focused on getting their black belt, or competing in tournaments, while others just want to have a fun time with their friends. We adapt to meet the different needs of each child to help them reach their goals.

Performers will concentrate on developing a wide range of vocal, physical, and imaginative skills. They will be challenged to break out of their comfort zone while tapping into their own creativity, gain self-confidence, and experience working collaboratively with others.

The class finishes with a showcase for friends and family on the final day (May 15).

At Play-Well TEKnologies, we are dedicated to teaching STEAM through play and interaction with LEGO. Our programs and curriculum are designed by a specified curriculum team who are dedicated to creating projects that are engaging, challenging, and provide tools to learn real- world concepts. Our engineering-based programs are set up to introduce children grades preK-8 to new terms and provide understanding of those terms through application to the building process as well as the world they already know. Our programs are centered around LEGO building and engineering/STEM concepts. Each day is different and designed to teach the students something new through building a related car, train, animal, etc and the mechanisms required for it. Students work individually, in teams, and as a group throughout the sessions. A short discussion and demonstration of the days project starts each meeting. Instructors will relate the project to the “real world” and discuss its purpose to the community. Projects are rotated seasonally to ensure that both new and returning students can explore the endless creative possibilities of the LEGO® building system.
