XSPORTS ACADEMYA unique 2-week camp that will change the way you learn and play sports!

Join us this summer for a unique 2-week camp that will change the way you learn and play sports! Our XSports camp encourages children to consciously develop physical mastery, grit, curiosity and interpersonal skills, while having lots of fun and expending their boundless energy! Kids start the morning with yoga, allowing them to warm up both body and mind for the day’s activities, and set their individual goals for the day. Then it’s time for some teamwork and discovery, with land-based morning activities focusing on building their fundamental movement skills. Kids will increasingly build their body awareness, balance, reflexes and ball control, while also practice teamwork and communication with their new friends. While the skills gained during these sessions will be helpful for kids in any sport, our two-week program culminates in an exciting game of floorball, one of the fastest growing sports worldwide that is also rapidly gaining popularity in Singapore!

After lunch, it’s time to focus on individual performance in the pool! Depending on their swim experience, kids will learn to perfect their techniques for basic strokes - such as front crawl, backstroke or breaststroke - under the guidance of highly experienced swim coaches. By the end of the camp, they’ll be putting their new skills to the test by challenging themselves for distance. A great time for kids to practice not just physical mastery and endurance, but also build determination, focus and reflection.
