We developed the FC Sports Curriculum using various child development theories as its foundation. We made sure classes are age-appropriate in terms of physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities. We created each game to incorporate child development so that coaches and parents can understand why we do what we do.

The Developmental Milestones

*Social-Emotional: The class will help to increase the importance of peer relations. We will introduce team work and cooperation

*Cognitive: They will assist the participants with improving attention span and ability to concentrate.

*Physical: The participants will work on running, kicking, and jumping. They will focus on foot-eye coordination and balance.

Location: Ampro Field House (30 Bunting Lane Primos, PA)

Horseback riding lessons for youth (age 8 and older as of 1/1/12)and adults with little or no riding experience are offered in a variety of sessions at the 4-H Farm & Educational Center, located at 395 Bishop Hollow Road, Newtown Square.

A Day Camp experience is the perfect introduction to horses and horsemanship for the beginner, 8 – 13 years old. The four meetings (2.5 hrs. each) include horseback riding instruction (walk/trot only), grooming, stable chores and horse science. These classes meet four times in one week and include up to twelve children with four horses. Cost is $160. Three sessions are offered. This program is not designed to be repeated, so no child can sign up more than one time per season for this program.


Horsemanship Classes

Four class meetings include horseback riding instruction (walk/trot), grooming, stable chores and horse science. Classes meet four times (2.5 hours each), once a week for four weeks OR four times in one week. Classes will not exceed eight members with four horses. Cost is $225. This series can be repeated, as the smaller class size permits the instructor to customize the riding lesson, but it is still limited to walk/trot riding skills. This class is appropriate for beginning riders - children (at least 8 years as of 1/1/12) through adults (less than 220 pounds).



Walk/Trot/Canter Lessons

Small group instruction is available to students who have completed the 4-H Day Camp or Horsemanship class and have mastered beginning riding skills. These lessons are riding only, without barn chores or horse science lessons. Lessons will be offered weekday afternoons, in 30 minute sessions. Students must sign up for a minimum of four lessons ($30 each) and pay in advance. Lessons will be scheduled to suit the students and instructor. Students can be excused and make up lessons only for medical reasons. A minimum of two students per session is required. Maximum class size is four.

Basic Classes for groups
This opportunity is for children and/or adults (less than 220 pounds). Each class (2.5 hours) will include an introduction to safety and basic grooming in addition to riding time. This program is recommended to be a first experience with horses, providing novice riders with insight as to their personal level of interest. Lessons can be customized to suit the group, including scout badge requirements. This program is $300 per group of no more than 12 per class and will be scheduled as needed.


Birthday parties and pony rides for your group can be arranged when the horses are not in use for the other programs. The 4-H meeting room is available for refreshments.
