Mini Athletics is the first of its kind. First and foremost, it is so much fun However, Mini Athletics is so much more than that. Through 3 progressive classes, children from - 7 years old go on a fantastic journey in athletic movement.

They are introduced to the basics of athletic movement skills (running, jumping, throwing) in a play based yet structured format.

Children are encouraged to develop athletic skills that are fundamental to their early physical development. In addition, the exercises build cognitive and social skills, preparing them for the early learning goals.
