Mini sports for Gold Coast toddlers
Pre-school sports should be more like play than a lesson or drill, with coaches emphasising fun, socialisation and key motor skills. Developing an understanding of working as a team, sharing, and following instructions are also critical elements. On the Gold Coast, we are lucky to have a number of options for children aged 1-5 starting their sporting journey. This list below covers both indoor and outdoor options, casual attendance and term programs. With locations right across the Coast, you're bound to find something that fits with your schedule!

For many families, the first taste of team sports is through soccer! It's generally seen as a safe and fun option for little ones to get started in the world of sport, and it's never been more popular. Little Kickers Gold Coast is a soccer skills program, that also combines with important early learning concepts such as colour and number recognition, sharing, following instructions and using imagination. They teach soccer in a fun, pressure-free environment that gives children a positive introduction to sport as a whole, not just soccer!
