Because the sport of baton twirling is FUN for children of all ages and athletic abilities!
Baton twirling is an aerobic sport that promotes physical fitness, flexibility and coordination, and helps fight childhood obesity. It is one of the very best ways to develop and improve eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills.
Today's twirlers are both athletes and artists, demonstrating the speed of sprinters, the stamina of distance runners, the lightning-fast reflexes of hockey or basketball players, the agility of gymnasts and the artistry of figure skaters.
But most importantly, baton twirling teaches many life skills that help young people succeed in school, work, and throughout their lives. Those life skills include teamwork and good sportsmanship, self-confidence and self-discipline, and goal-setting and time management skills.
