The Superhero Training Academy is a fitness program
designed specifically for children, and youth, with special
needs. Participants must be ambulatory. The program
focuses on improving fitness fundamentals, such as balance,
flexibility, coordination and strength, while also promoting the
development of social skills, such as listening to instructions and
working co-operatively in groups. In order to achieve these goals,
children receive the undivided attention of one or two dedicated
McMaster student volunteers. For further details contact the
