Our very popular Gross Motor Group helps children aged between 4 and 6 years of age to build and develop their balance, coordination, strength and proprioception (understanding where their body is in space).

After children complete the Gross Motor Group program, they can transition to a mainstream community sports activity, or to our Super Star Sports group!

Super Star Sports is the next step after Gross Motor Group, and assists children to learn sports specific skill training and team based skills to assist them to transition to a mainstream sport. Each term focuses on a different sport, and the sessions focus on sports specific skills and drills, learning game rules, working as a member of a team, and practicing playing the sport in mini games.

After children complete the Super Star Sports program, we can support your child to link with and transition to a mainstream sports program so they can continue to play!
