June
Southern Pediatric Therapy is teaming up with The Gatorade Fieldhouse and Hernando Sportsplex to host The Rising Stars Sports Program! This will be a single-day event featuring a variety of sports activities designed to accommodate children with special needs from ages three to twenty-one.
Don’t miss out on this chance to join us for an afternoon of sports and fun!
Registration will close Sunday, May 12th at 12:00AM midnight
OR when capacity for the event is reached.
What should my child wear?
Your child should wear tennis shoes and an outfit suitable for activity. Those registered will receive a swag bag which include a participant t-shirt. We would love for your child to wear that t-shirt during the event!
Volunteers and leaders will be wearing orange event shirts for easy identification.
Where is this event located?
The Sports Program will take place at The Gatorade Fieldhouse (1582 Green T Road, Hernando, MS 38632), North Mississippi’s largest indoor sports complex.
How is the event structured?
This event is a time for children with special needs to experience and enjoy sports. Five sports will be offered with one sport at each court: basketball, pickleball, dodgeball, corn hole, and boxing. Each sport will consist of a demonstration, instructions, drills, and rounds of play in 30 minute rotations. There will be a sport leader and volunteers at each court to offer assistance and direction. There will be bleachers at each court for parents/guardians to spectate.
What if my child needs to sit out during a sport?
Your child may sit out and participate as needed/desired. We will have designated sensory rooms set up if a quiet, separate space is needed by your child during the event.
Can parents/guardians accompany their child during activities?
Yes! Parents/guardians are welcome to accompany their child through the sports rotations. We will also have volunteer “buddies” to assist your child if desired. Please request a buddy on the registration form.
Bike Camp
Summer Bike Camp offers valuable bike training, benefiting children by enhancing balance, strength, motor planning, coordination, cognition, and more! Though not required to attend all four weeks, we encourage your child to attend every week to ensure they have ample time to learn this skill and gain confidence by the end of the camp. We will be providing modified and traditional bikes if needed. You do NOT have to be a current patient to sign up, and no referral needed!
