Sports Adventures Week Kicks Off!


Sports and kids go together in many families, and my crew is no exception. From the Saturday college football game festivities, to the many baseball, softball, and soccer games over the years, we have been involved in all kinds of sports because of the interests of our children. Sports have helped us get to know others in our community, helped our children learn to get along with others, and developed their understanding of teamwork. We've been very blessed and made so many great memories along the way, even though neither my husband nor I ever played any competitive sports. Imagine!

This week at USAB, we're offering many of our fun, sports titles at very low prices, focusing on learning about sports through unit studies. If your children are interested in sports, use this opportunity to stretch their passion into new areas of learning. From the science of the human body while playing sports, to the trajectory of a hit baseball heading for the fence, there is plenty to learn. Soccer, football, baseball, auto racing, and horses--pick a few and let the learning fun begin!



Learn the techniques of good batting by visiting Internet sites that teach the basics and then watch videos that demonstrate them. Understand forces and momentum by studying why a curve ball curves, and learn about reflexes and reaction time, and how they help us in sports. And did you know that finding the “sweet spot” of a bat is based on physics? We’ll also get to know the legends of baseball and see how the game has changed over the years.


Horses - Unit Study Adventure (K-12) - $5
