Sport Kidz is a program designed for toddlers and young children to learn the basic fundamentals of sport and exercise in a fun and kid-centered environment. Our program is focused around giving children a fun and rewarding introduction to sport so that they will find enjoyment in play and healthy living for years to come.
We have 3 different classes that are specifically tailored to different age groups of children. No matter what age group your child falls into, our core principles remain consistent throughout:
- No Pressure, Just Play. It's not about winning, it's about learning
- Children are sponges eager to soak up new skills when they are taught in a fun and rewarding environment
- Children must be constantly engaged in new games and areas of play to stay focused and involved
- Sport is more fun when learned with friends and family members
- Sport is a teacher of shapes, patterns, colours and numbers
- Sport helps to teach children fundamental life skills such as: how to follow instructions, sharing, listening, taking turns and playing as a member of a team
Sport Totz - Age 18 months to 2.5 Years
In this youngest age group the basics of sport are taught in a fun and constantly moving environment. Skills such as kicking, tossing, bouncing, running, hopping, balancing and jumping. This class is completely play oriented through games, skills and obstacles. Children work at their own pace and developmental level alongside their parent, while in a group setting.
- This class requires parent participation
- Classes are 35 minutes in length
- Each child receives a t-shirt, a certificate/feedback card and a class photo
Sport Kidz 1 - Age 2.5 to 3.5 Years
In this age group children are challenged more both physically and mentally. This level is suitable for all skill levels and welcomes beginners. Children are encouraged to grow on fundamental sport skills such as running, jumping, hopping, balancing, coordination, throwing and obstacles. More sport-specific games are introduced.

Sport Kidz 2 - Age 3.5 - 5 Years

This class is more individual-sport focused with sport specific skills and controlled techniques taught that will be useful in soccer, basketball, hockey, tennis, swimming, track, and many other sports. Games and skills are still structured around play and fun with more peer interaction and team play.
