Leaping the Bull

was a revered sport and a favorite pastime of Ancient Minoan Youth. They were diligently trained for years as expert gymnasts. Girls and boys trained equally as they prepared for the day they would face the beast.

They learned to approach the bull and as he lowered his massive head to charge them, the children fearlessly stood fast preparing to grasp his horns. Upon contact, the bull reared his head to loose them, but these gracefully trained athletes used the momentum to effortlessly flip over his back. It must have been spectacular and breathtaking to see.

Children are incredible and magical beings. They thrive on the nurturing encouragement of their parents and families. They tend to be fearless and most of them will try any sport or activity. They are amazingly willing to learn if someone will take the time to teach them in a positive environment. They truly have limitless potential.

We believe in instilling the pursuit of excellence in every child who enters the LOV and our goal is to encourage each one to pursue excellence for themselves…being the best they can be, not because anyone else expects them to, but because it’s what they want.
