Of the 6 stations in the SMASH, it will be 3 stations of golf (Putting/Finese/Fullswing), 2 stations of other fundamental sports skills (FSS 1/2), and one station of functional strength. Water breaks will happen at a minimum of every 30 minutes, there will be a cooler of water on site for the kids, along with a first aid kit.
