About Kelly Mini Sports

Kelly Mini Sports teaches your preschoolers to love being active, with programs that are so entertaining, they won’t even realise they’re learning essential sporting and social skills.

It’s fun for the whole family – while your kids enjoy their high-energy sessions, you’ll get the chance to socialise with the other parents. Our Kelly Mini Sports families often end up forming new friendships and continuing to get together after their programs have ended!

A FUN WAY TO GET YOUR PRESCHOOLER ACTIVE!

We use a dynamic combination of fun and music to teach under - 5's essential developmental and social skills and instil a lifelong love of activity.
