Lesson Structure & Outcomes

We have structured each lesson to be action packed to keep each little legend's energy level to the max. Our coaches will focus on teaching correct sporting technique in a fun, age appropriate and structured environment. We will also stress the importance of listening closely to instructions/rules, playing fairly and most importantly having fun.

Little Legends Academy aims to enhance preschoolers gross and fine motor skills, encourage their continued participation in sports and you never know bring out each child's hidden talent. To ensure that we are able to maximise each child's development we will have smaller classes. These small classes will allow our coaches to pay more attention to each legendary toddler.

We have designed our program to teach children the fundamentals & skills of a variety of different sports. In order to achieve this, varied repetition will be used meaning teaching skills slowly but using a variety of activities and games so that the kids don't become dis-interested and lose focus. A safe & non-competitive environment with a repetitive but engaging nature will allow your child to grow and reach their potential in a familiar & comfortable setting.

During our classes we will be focusing on:

- Teaching hand-eye/foot-eye co-ordination.
- Developing and enhancing age-appropriate gross motor skills.
- Introducing and reinforcing the importance of warm-up and stretching to help prevent injuries.
- Teaching the importance of good sportsmanship and teamwork.
- Developing listening and communication skills.

Key Values & Beliefs:

We understand that not all kids have the same sporting abilities and not everyone is going to be the next David Beckham or Lebron James, but that doesn't mean we can't treat them like they are.

Our academy's main purpose is to make sure that all our children feel like little legends and shine in there own right. Our coaches aim for each lesson is to make sure that the kids achieve their individual best and by doing so feel they have won a gold medal. Our academy strongly believes that the overall development of a child is the most important thing and is particularly crucial during this influential stage. We have ensured that we have included overall child development into our program (physical, emotional, social and intellectual).

Our core beliefs that we take into every session include:

- a fun, pressure-free environment
- positive introduction to sport
- engaging and entertaining activities
- a fun and structured environment.
- fundamental life skills such as listening, following instructions, sharing & teamwork should be emphasised
- creation of a safe environment for children to develop at their own pace, whilst feeling confident & happy in their own ability.

One of our strongest beliefs is sportsmanship and that every child is entitled to play sport and should always encourage and assist others. All activities will always encourage sportsmanship and we will never accept any form of bullying.
