My husband and I were running into a dilemma with our kids becoming zombies. Video games like…read moreFortnite, Super Smash bros., Plants vs Zombies, Minecraft, Legend of Zelda and more have invaded our household, their minds and our conversations. The kids couldn't wait to get home from school so they could stay glued to their game consoles. I was having troubles relating to conversations with my gen alphas like: "I have to show you the house I made at Minecraft," "I finally made a pick axe " "I can't wait to get that Snoop Dog skin, can you emote with us?" "That move was so OP with that flame bow" The generation gap is real, My video games growing up were arcade based, like Street Fighter, pac man, astroids, Mortal Kombat, but even then I couldn't fathom spending hours playing on the screen. My Gen X mind was reeling and thinking... it's time for the family to touch grass. My husband's friend suggested Rugby. Her son is high school aged for the team called Falcons with team mates from YOLO and Solano counties. It was perfect because once football season ended, he was ready and conditioned for Rugby. My husband and the kids checked the games out last year and was impressed with the coaches and the sportsmanship of the players. This season, we decided to lessen screen time and increase exercise. It started out with our 13 year old and 11 year old boy. They looked like fishes out of water but we kept pushing and encouraging. A week later, our 8 year old girl wanted to try as well and off she went. A few weeks later, a few games later they're still trekking, running, getting up early and it's been inspiring for us parents to watch them. They're getting beat up, they're falling down, their face is on the ground they're getting discouraged, BUT the trade off is: they're getting coached, they're learning to push past the pain and their self conceived limits, they're learning sportsmanship and working with others they're learning to strategize Because isn't that what being out on the field is all about? It's practice for life and part of growing up. The times of covid, sheltering, hiding is going away if not gone, and we realized how much our kids have been socially, physically, emotionally and mentally hindered because of the past few years. If they can start young, get exposed to different thought processes, build on their confidence, speak up and be surrounded by encouraging adults and other players who challenge and push, then the sky is the limit for our kiddos. Great club to be part of.

I was looking to get my kids into a sport and thought about rugby. We went to the rugby camp that…read morethey offered in December to see whether or not this was something the kids might enjoy and we made a decision as a family. It was the first sport they've ever been to and a learning experience. The coaches were friendly, informative, and encouraging with the kids. While I brought my boys to practice, my 8 year old girl wanted to play too and decided to give the sport a chance. After watching all three I've seen them grow, find strength in themselves, and push themselves. for more info/pics: https://www.facebook.com/people/Solano-Yolo-Rugby-Club/100091066813025/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFTWtklQjuw

We love the safety and health procedures that are in place to make sure our little ones can stay active while also staying healthy during this pandemic! Having a high level gymnastics background, it was important to me that I place my children in a program that is safe and also promotes learning basics correctly the first time. We don't always think about the future of our children's athletic life at 2/3, but the basics learned in beginning level gymnastics is so vital for almost every sport, and making sure they are being learned correctly is crucial. It makes transitioning your little one into another sport seamless! We checked out all the gyms around the yolo county area and we can without a doubt say that this is where the healthiest habits are being fostered! And you don't have to take my word for it ! They have a great trial option so you can see how wonderful the fit is!

They offer tables upstairs where you can set up cake and food, which makes hosting even easier. One thing to keep in mind is that the gym is designed for a smaller group, so their limit is around 10 kids or fewer. But overall, it's a wonderful place to let kids have fun, explore, and get their energy out!
