GIVE YOUR CHILD THE 8BOARD ADVANTAGE : Full-body coordination and balance

---

How do you know if your child is talented or gifted athletically? Does your child take naturally to physical activities? 8board builds future athletes while it builds your child’s confidence.

Grail Sports feels it’s important for people, especially children, to learn and organize their body dynamics so that they become aware of the vertical and horizontal aspects of standing, moving and “being” in space. Around the age of five or six children become acutely aware of their physical bodies. This is the optimal time to begin harnessing and developing a child’s physical interests. We find that soon after six years old, children begin to favor one side of their body. Therefore, the other side becomes weaker and less coordinated.

The 8board can train a child to coordinate his or her upper and lower body movements, which is essential for almost every sport and physical activity. Just being able to produce this balanced and fluid motion will accelerate the learning of any sport, including: tennis, golf, baseball, football, skiing/snowboarding, soccer, and  more. Awareness of the body’s center in relation to the outer movements of the hands and feet helps 8boarders utilize gravity in the unfolding of a beautiful stroke, swing or athletic movement. A world of opportunity becomes available through the manifestation of these key core movements.

An otherwise accident-prone or awkward child can become a confident athlete through regular use of the 8board. And parents will get more out of their investment in sports lessons by preparing their child – and practicing with their child – on an 8board.
