YOUTH SPORTS

The H.E.S. is committed to the development of healthy habits and lifestyles through sports and play for our younger members and patrons. Our goal is to promote social-emotional learning and comradery, build confidence and to hone sports and fitness skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Coaches and instructors emphasize positive reinforcement and provide constructive and appropriate feedback. This ensures children enjoy and get the most from their youth sports experiences.
