We are excited to announce that Peter R. Corbin, Founder & Director of Corbin’s Crusaders Sports Club, will join us as a regular blog contributor in the area of children’s development through athletics.
Peter received his Master of Education and Master of Arts degrees from Teachers College, Columbia University specializing in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts from Lehigh University majoring in Psychology.
For 20 years, Peter worked at a traditional summer camp in New Hampshire as a counselor, Group Leader, Head Counselor of Boys Camp and Program Director responsible for all camp programs and staff management. Prior to founding Corbin’s Crusaders, Peter was Head Counselor of Billdave After School Sports Club in New York City.
Since 1996, Peter has grown Corbin’s Crusaders Sports Club (CCSC) from private enrollment to now being integrated into many after school programs in New York City’s private schools. Current organizations include Aaron School, Allen Stevenson, Browning, Caedmon, Calhoun, Churchill, Claremont, Collegiate, Dalton, Gateway, Mandell, Nightingale-Bamford, and Sacred Heart. Thousands of children have attended the After School Program and the Summer Day Camp (located in Rockland County).
As parents and Co-Directors, Peter and his wife, Wendy, understand the importance of a positive self-image and individual development in every child’s life. Corbin’s Crusaders uses sports to enhance a child’s potential and encourages all children to develop into confident players regardless of their skill level. As CCSC continues to expand, it remains a family organization striving to help each child reach his or her potential on and off the playing field.
Using sports, positive feedback and cooperative learning games, children begin to show the characteristics of teamwork and sportsmanship. We use our Skills, Drills and Thrills Method to help each child and team advance to the next level. We breakdown a sport into a few fundamental skills and then practice them with fun and exciting drills. Each day, there is a thrilling game situation so players can experience their immediate improvement, which enhances confidence. We believe a strong “sense of self” benefits every child and significantly translates to life off the field.
Peter, as an expert in children’s development through athletics, has been a seminar speaker for the Parents League of New York and lecturer on camp staff development for the American Camping Association.
