What will my child learn?

At Little Lions Athletics, our vision is to provide fun activity sessions for children, focused on key movement skills and balance, to prepare them for a lifetime of sport and physical activity. We passionately believe the more positive and the earlier a child’s experiences in sport start the better! That’s why our fully qualified and friendly coaches recognise the importance of giving your Little Lions the best start to their sporting pathway by enabling them to build strong fundamental skills, through fun games and activities, that they can transfer across all sports. All of our sessions are fun and are focused on running, jumping and throwing. And don’t be surprised if we ask parents to join in on our sessions too (in fact we strongly encourage this for Little Cubs aged 3-4) as we feel lots of the skills taught should be practiced at home to further develop your child’s agility, balance and coordination.
