Or, together, predict which will land first when dropped from a bridge — a soccer ball or basketball. In addition to delivering some out-of-this-world feats, this show explains the mechanics behind engineering phenomena, helping kids expand their complex reasoning skills and sense of wonder while developing scientific explanations for everyday life.

This original docu-series features relatable young athletes and their journey to achieve their goals. Each No Days Off profile follows a single athlete as they train with their support systems to be the best in their sports.

Several episodes highlight young basketball prodigies like 9-year-old Jaliyah Manuel, who doesn't just hope to play in the NBA, she KNOWS she will! From track to Jiu-Jitsu, these spectacular kids are truly inspirational.
