The game on summer "social skills" program is a perfect complement to the sports training offered at IMG Academies.

game on's unique curriculum uses improvisation and role-playing to help athletes develop communication skills and social confidence both in and out of sport. game on is ideal for all athletes and all ages.

Classes are taught in groups of 8-10 students in the same age range, but not necessarily the same sport. Groups meet daily during the afternoon break and after sport program.

One hour… Once a week… 8-10 students per group… Same age, but not necessarily same sport… Does not interfere with the sport or school schedule… All ages and abilities… No homework…

Conversation Skills: Practice dynamic conversations beyond one-word answers and/or the obvious sports related topics.

Body Language: Learn the power of the non-verbal communication as you build strong, confident body language.

Appropriate Humor: Laugh "with" instead of "at" while developing a positive sense of humor that’s appropriate for all audiences.

Creative Thinking: Trust your instincts and think quickly on your feet as you go beyond your comfort zone to speak with imagination and creativity.

"We are so impressed with your program. You are causing Eddie to think not just about his body language, but also about who’s in his "audience" and how that affects what they hear him say."
