HOPSports PRICING—Basic and Gold Package

The HOPSports Training System - Basic or Gold - is preloaded with a minimum of 50 lessons, more than enough to service an educational environment for two years! HOPSports sustainability is incredible. For example, the Dell warranty on the CPU is four years, and the life on the projector is 5,000 hours. The maintenance cost, other than occasional bulb replacement for the projector, is, minimal. Using the minimum lifeline of two years, the purchasing institution is incurring a modest per-day-per-child cost for physical activity, nutrition and social messaging that will be a lifetime of education for each student. In a school of 500 students using a 180 day school year, the per-student cost is less than ten cents per day per year. As the student population increases and as the years of use increase beyond two years, the actual per student cost becomes pennies per day. Current purchasers of the HTS, Basic or Gold, will continue to receive content as it is developed. Many of the current purchasers will have in excess of 70 lessons to choose from by the end of the 2007-2008 school year. This will expand the usable years of life of the HTS so that the ten cent/day/student price now becomes pennies per student. The bottom line...HOPSports is a robust, comprehensive, energetic, educational and entertaining program that engages every student in the classroom, at such a minimal cost, it is perhaps unpar-alleled in the physical education - or educational - community!
