NEW YORK, March 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- After one of the snowiest winters on record, New York City kids are desperate to play outside. So it is no surprise that the most popular kids' classes are taking place outdoors this season.
Lauren Pohl, Founder of Kidz Central Station and NYC mom of two says, "Parents and kids, alike, are done with winter! They're ready to get outside and get active, which is why there is a strong trend towards outdoor sports classes this spring. Think golf, baseball, soccer and much more."
More top class providers are taking their programming - taught by industry experts and former competitive athletes - outside. Classes, which are held in parks all over New York City, are specifically tailored to the age and ability of the students. The Urban Golf Academy introduces your child to golf as young as 4 years old with four outdoor park locations. Enjoy the beauty of Central Park while your child develops his baseball skills through New York Empire Baseball's program, available for kids aged 4 - 11. Many outdoor providers, like Soc Roc, offer a free trial class to new students that sign up through Kidz Central Station. Soc Roc's creative soccer classes are offered in parks in Manhattan and Queens.
"What I love about the trend towards outdoor programming is the use of our amazing city parks, many of which have been renovated recently. Additionally, our top providers are sending a message to children of all ages and athletic levels to live fit – benefitting their overall health and boosting their self-confidence," says Pohl.
KidzCentralStation.com was founded in 2012 by Pohl, a NYC mom of two young children, to solve the problem so many busy parents face -- how to find, book and manage their children's classes, camps and local family events. Kidz Central Station offers more than 2,500 classes and camps, representing hundreds of NYC's top activity providers. With a sophisticated search engine and class reviews, it is easy for parents to find the best classes for their child, sign up for a trial class and directly enroll.
