What happens after I fill out a Book Now form?
After you fill out a Book Now form with a tentative date & time for your lesson &/or birthday party, you should receive a thank you e-mail from Bee In Motion. We try to get in contact with you within 72 hrs to confirm this information, discuss any questions you may have.
Who are your coaches?
Owner, coach Brian goes through a very thorough process of when hiring his coaches ro represent Bee In Motion. BIM looks for aspiring teachers, coaches or former college athletes who love working with children. All coaches receive a background check, send in professional & character references and shadow a current BIM coach before independently hitting the field. Demo lessons are very common for new hires and through this process, coach Brian acts as a mentor for these new hires as they grow & develop their own pedagogy & teaching style. We don’t expect our coaches to all coach the same, but they all will be professional, punctual, positive, energetic and provide real time feedback to our clients so learning is active, fun and on-going.
What equipment does my child need to bring for a sports(s) lesson?
Our coaches will bring the necessary equipment to run drills and games for your child’s lesson. After connecting with your coach, you can determine together what your child might need to bring, whether it’s their own bike, helmet, lacrosse stick, soccer ball, basketball ball, glove, racket, etc. We recommend a bottle of water, secure sneakers, comfortable clothes (if necessary- hats & gloves).
What happens during your Bee In Motion Birthday Parties?
After your important details (which birthday package is right for you) is confirmed, you will receive a google calendar invite followed by a text confirmation from coach(es) running your party.
While we have run specific flag football or soccer games for 8-10 children, most of our parties don’t focus on one sport, but include a variety of sports and fun games that all kids love to play. All kids are active participants, no one is a spectator. Sometimes even our parents get involved during dodgeball or the relay races!
Options include… our coaches run games for an 1 to 1.5 hrs & then you take over for food, gifts etc. or like the majority of our parties; our coaches run the games, take a quick break for food/drinks, then run more games, the break for Happy Birthday dessert & end with one more game.
Coaches help with settling the children, handing out food, getting children organized for group pictures & a happy birthday song for the birthday child! We also have professional photographers as a special add-on if interested. Kids will shake hands (give a pound) after group games, coaches will often switch teams, so all kids get to play with one another and it will be a positive, happy inclusive, fun experience for all participants.
What if I don’t own a bike?
Unfortunately, we no longer can supply bikes for our clients because of logistics, but we do have a solution if you are in Manhattan. Go to Master Bike, the owner is Imbert & he has been a huge supporter of Bee In Motion for over 15 years. Our very own coach Lawrence works there too! Master Bike is located on 72nd & West End Ave to rent a bike for $25.00 on top of our lesson fee.
