Little Athletes offers weekly sports and physical opportunities to parents, carers and children. At our sessions, parents and carers are able to socialise and access guidance from services that specialise in supporting families.
Our fun sessions provide activities that are enjoyable and accessible whilst also supporting children to improve their physical well-being, and motor and coordination skills.
We utilise a range of activities to keep little ones engaged, from bicycles and balancing pads, to parachutes and racket games. There is a key focus on games where children work together, and we actively encourage parents and carers to also take part in these for maximum benefit.

How to Join Little Athletes

Key Benefits
Improves Motor and Coordination Skills
Presented with a variety of obstacles to tackle, from climbing through tunnels to balancing on beams, sessions provide the perfect opportunity to kickstart problem solving skills! Your little ones will engage with activities that strengthen brain and physical development, all whilst having fun with friends.
Boosts Confidence through Socialisation
For children under 5, much of their life as been spent in lockdowns due to the pandemic. Whilst keeping them safe, we have had to miss out on important social opportunities. Little Athletes provides a weekly safe space for you and your little ones to socialise with others in similar positions to you. The benefits of socialisation for children under 5 are huge, helping them to better understand emotions, expressions and conversation skills.
Time for Adults
Active sessions run 10 am – 11am in the sports hall at Three Hills Sports Park, afterwards parents and carers are invited to head up to cafe and enjoy free teas and coffees with other care givers. Cafe time runs until 12 pm and provides the perfect space to wind down.
Keeps Children Active and Entertained
The health and well-being of your children have never been so important, it’s our goal to ensure that all children have the opportunity to keep physically and socially active, whilst developing new skills and having fun.
