By promoting a healthy lifestyle and enjoying outdoor activities together; parents will be creating environments that encourage the interaction necessary to forge powerful lifelong bonds between themselves and their children. This is accomplished through the following key elements of the BYD^® approach.

Key Elements of the BYD^® Approach

• Learn from the Pros in the comfort of your own home. This is one of the cornerstones of the BYD^® approach. The Backyard Drills^® DVD series provides parents with 1:1 instruction from celebrity sports professionals as Backyard Drills Coaches.
  
  These Pros provide hands-on visual instruction and motivation that teaches parents to coach and mentor their children involved in, or desiring to become involved in both team and individual sports. This is done through a series of 20-minute sessions that can be viewed in a living room and then experienced together in your own backyard or a local park environment.
   
• Make their expertise yours in the privacy of your own backyard. All Instruction and drills are specifically designed to be conducted in a casual backyard or park environment with no special equipment required. This enables parents to draw on the experience of the Pros to increase both your comfort and knowledge level in the sports fundamentals and character development so vital to their children.
  
  And, the multiple session approach allows you to develop a pattern of time with your children that can become part of your daily or weekly routine.
   
• A self-paced approach puts you in control of the rate of learning. The Backyard Drills^® approach allows you to control the rate of learning so that you and your child can derive the maximum advantages from each of the sessions, while never feeling bored or intimidated.
  
  Through this, parents will also be developing a higher level of enjoyment, interaction and trust with their children that can be expanded outside of the area of sports and athletics.
   
• A common approach is employed across multiple sports. As the same process and approach are employed across all Sports Editions, once you know the BTD approach, you know it for all sports. This makes sharing the Backyard Drills^® experience across multiple sports and outdoor activities easy, effortless and fun!
   
• The BYD^® approach makes establishing the "common ground" of sports a foundation for "quality time" together. Even in today's fast paced, technology-driven world, sports still serves as a foundation of "common ground" upon which a greater level of parental relevance, communication and impact can be developed with children.
  
  This, combined with the ability to learn, share and enjoy something together that is of common interest can take a shared common ground and make it opportunity for increased quality time! Through this, everybody will be a winner!

Something must be done to put parents in a place to provide coaching to children at pivotal times, establish open communication and common ground and minimize the complexities and challenges of parenting in today's world. Now, with Backyard Drills^®, you are in a position to do it!
