Professional Development

Free Professional Development Days

ADA offers a “District Wide Professional Development Day” for a minimum of 20 schools. We offer this service to your district free of charge, and we take care of all of our expenses.


Discounted Equipment

Your district or host school will be able to purchase equipment at a super discounted price. That equipment stays after we leave.


Three Presentations

We offer 3 presentations, detailed below. We can accommodate presentations to various groups in the same visit (e.g. a morning session with Elementary teachers, then an afternoon session with Middle School and High School teachers). Please contact us to discuss your needs. We look forward to seeing you.

Foam Coated Balls Are Not Just For Dodgeball
A group of people having an activity at the basketball court

This program is an active participation program. We go through about 30-40 drills using foam coated balls and playground balls. These drills teach balance, strength, tossing, catching, and agility skills. The drills make learning fun and can be used in elementary through secondary schools.

This program is an active participation program. In this program we go through the basic skills of teaching tennis, badminton, and pickleball with limited space available. These drills make learning fun and develop skills that lead students to learn to enjoy lifetime activities to lead healthy lives.
