What We Do

We get kids moving, we teach kids sports fundamentals, we give kids a health and fitness foundation for life, and most importantly for the kids we make it fun!

JumpBunch brings a high quality, high energy sports and fitness program to preschools, daycare facilities, gym/fitness centers, recreation/parks departments or any venue where children are gathered.  The JumpBunch mission is to instill children with healthy habits and self confidence by teaching sports fundamentals in a nurturing, non-competitive environment.

Coaches are equipped with age and developmentally appropriate lesson plans; cool, colorful, and safe equipment; and the training and enthusiasm needed to ensure that children have a fun while they learn about sports and fitness.
