Bear Smart Programs
TRC’s Bear Smart program is for children 3-4 years of age that focuses on motor skill development, enhancing social skills, and play in a fun, safe, and exciting recreational environment. All of our youth Bear Smart programs are led by TRC instructors and are split into two different classes, depending on your child's age. Our 3-year-old program focuses on developmental and motor skills, and our 4-year-old program instructs children on 5 different sports throughout the program.

What's the benefit of Bear Smart?

Oftentimes a child’s first sports experience is through an organized community league. Unfortunately, these first timers are often forced into competitive situations without first receiving a proper introduction on the correct skills and movements needed to effectively play that sport. To give a child the best chance at succeeding in, and enjoying, a particular sport, a proper age-appropriate period of instruction is crucial. Rather than simply throwing them out on the field/court and then keeping score, experts agree that the best way to start kids out in sports is through a progressive program of varying levels.
Our Bear Smart program helps young children to develop their motor skills in a fun and safe environment! There are several factors that influence the development of gross and fine motor skills. These factors include the growth of the child, environment, genetics, muscle tone, and gender. By understanding and analyzing these factors, you can help children enhance their skills and develop at an appropriate rate.

The Turner Recreation Commission has established our Bear Smart program just for this!
