After 3+ years of attending PTTS, Leo has developed self confidence, found a sport he loves, he is now able focus well, strategize and work hard despite challenges and has evolved in to a happy and balanced kid. As Parents, we have learned more about coaching kids through positive support and constructive inquiries.

Before joining Ptts basketball programme Clement (6 yr) was a passive boy who did not like taking risks. He didn’t want to try new things due to the lack of confidence. He was quite stubborn and liked to do things in his own way.
After 2+ years of attending PTTS, Through fun physical activity and games, he has learned important building blocks to becoming a better person, how to face failure & recover from mistakes, Cooperate with teammates & show respect, and lastly to forgive others and show empathy. As a parent, I have learned a great deal from PTTS in dealing with Clement.

Caleb (6 y.o.) is very intelligent and a quick and highly motivated learner, but he was always very impatient and sometimes could not control his emotions.
After attending PTTS for 2 years, Caleb has developed much better control through seeing things from more perspectives and learning techniques of calming himself down. He is also building teamwork skills through really enjoying him in his basketball lessons!
