MANAGING DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
SO MANY
CHOICES
“The beauty of TYPA is that it offers a huge range of activities and sports
in one location. As a father of three children who love dance, gymnastics,
soccer, basketball, tennis, and much more, TYPA provides me with the
luxury of hosting all activities in one very convenient location. My children
have had the opportunity to learn fantastic activities in a safe and fun
environment. TYPA is child centered and very flexible in their approach
and my family have taken full advantage of what TYPA has to offer. The
only problem is limiting how many activities my children can do, because
there are just so many choices! ”
Shaun O’Rourke
Shaun’s comments testify to the fact that we are realizing the TYPA mission of developing “healthy, well-rounded,
confident youth, enthusiastic about learning through their participation in safe, dynamic, fun-filled recreational
experiences.”
TYPA aims to present a dilemma of choice. What activities, over 130 in all, will I choose for my child? This year,
will he/she take soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, volleyball, track & field or inline-skating? Or all of them!
How about robotics, public speaking, drama or chess? And what about martial arts, dance or gymnastics? A
wide variety of instruments includes piano, cello, violin, flute, guitar or even a vocal class. And we haven’t even
mentioned the huge selection of art classes to choose from! Then, after I drop my children off to school in the
morning, what adult TYPA classes will I take?
A perusal of our 2017-2018 brochure will open up an
incredible smorgasbord of activities for you and your
children. In addition to the many choices available, you
have the reassurance that these activities are located on
the TAS campus – a safe and secure environment for our
families. Children can exit their classrooms and go straight
to sports fields, dance studios, music rooms, theaters, courts,
labs, gyms or martial art dojos for their new challenges and
rewarding experiences.
As Shaun wrote, “The only problem is limiting how many
activities my children can do, because there are just so many
choices.” We hope you take the time to browse through our
brochure and choose from this incredible array of recreational
experiences. They are all great choices!
