My 7-year old is the ultimate sports fan. He loves all of the Backyard Sports CD Roms. We have Basketball, Baseball, Hockey and Football. I personally like them because these are computer programs and he is getting very comfortable manouvering the mouse and working with a computer. SnapSports athletic surfaces are perfect for Backyard courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, tennis courts, and multi-purpose gym flooring. Backyard Courts, Gym Flooring, and More SnapSports Proudly made in the U.S.A.

What Parents Are Saying!
“I like that Backyard Sports builds on the basics and each week is a new program. It’s not just kicking or hitting balls, but getting taught athletic skills. Dillon needs repetition and he gets that here. He’s learning.”

Here he looks forward to coming and walks away feeling successful. He’s proud to tell his friends that he plays on a basketball team. I am happy to see him proud.”

“My son does not like change or new people and places. But after 30 minutes of Backyard Sports Plus, Ethan was laughing and having fun. The wonderful staff consists of adult coaches and volunteers of various ages. I actually cried I was so happy that this was the only time that Ethan joined a large group.”
