This has been a wonderful confidence building experience for my 4 year old son. We pay on a Month to Month basis and even received one month free this summer. He was allowed two free try out classes before we had to commit. He initially did not want to participate, but the instructors gently coaxed him into it. My son loves the instructors(Masters Freeman and Mehrtens). They are laid back, nice guys. They and the other instructors are great with little kids, kidding around with them, but at the same time commanding respect and attention to detail. I highly recommend SMA for little kids, boys and girls alike.
