At RARA, it’s about more than learning a new sport. It’s about building confidence, having fun, and creating positive experiences for our youngest athletes!

We recently received some incredibly kind feedback from a Start Smart parent whose son, Charlie, is participating in his third round of classes with Coach Jericho.

“He is extremely kind and patient with the kids. He takes the time to teach them and make sure they are listening and learning. He knows when to push them and when to give breaks. My son learns a lot and has so much fun with Coach Jericho!”

We’re so grateful to have coaches and part-time staff like Jericho who make a lasting impact on our participants and their families. Thank you, Jericho, for helping make Start Smart such a positive experience!
