Boys & Girls Club of the Blue Ridge

★★★★★Heather Snyder

This is my sons first year with the club, and he absolutely loves being a part of it. We love the supportive staff and fun activities that he has an opportunity to engage with, ESPECIALLY the Taekwondo program. This is a huge positive experience for the kids and we are happy to have the opportunity to have our child participate. We have tried team sports in the past and they all pale in comparison to what our son learns here. The children are learning so much to help them through life in this class, but my favorites are: self-respect, determination, leadership, how to handle themselves with BULLIES, always doing their best, doing the right thing, setting goals for themselves, RESPECT for their parents and teachers, not to mention the physical and mental accomplishments of taking a martial art. We cannot say enough good things about this program and we are so thankful to be able to have access to the ATA Black Belt Academy of VA through the Boys and Girls Club. Our son is thriving because of it and we are blessed to have had the chance. We love it so much in fact, we joined the adult class ourselves!
