[My son’s] experience with Mindful Sports has been amazing!  Working with the Mindful Sports Team, [my son] has grown as an athlete and a teammate and has improved his ability to get through frustration on the field.  Mindful Sports meets each kid at their own level and guides them to be better.  It teaches how to strive to improve and win while also building a positive, supportive and inclusive team environment with positive skills for problem solving and self-regulation. 

Mindful Sports Parent

[My son] really loves Mindful Sports and we’re so happy that he found something sports related that makes him feel happy and strong (on the inside and out).

At the end of the day for parent/caregiver pick up, we’ll bring the kids back to our indoor facility a block away from PS282, on St.John’s between 6th and 7th Avenue.
