Ready Steady Go Kids Why Multi-Sports? Have you ever seen children who can’t catch, throw or hit because all they have concentrated on is kicking sports? Or children who can’t kick because all they have done is hitting sports? This is where Multi Sports becomes a fantastic activity for your child. Multi sports enables your child’s body to learn to use every muscle in their body and to use them for a specific purpose. This initiates muscle memory and brain stimulation. In multi sports they learn to kick, throw, catch, run, pass, bounce, shoot, hit and jump. They also learn lots of other skills like balancing, coordination, cognitive thinking, sharing and turn taking. Multi sporting or sports diversification is all about your child not specializing in a particular sport at a young age, it is thought of as playing as many sports as often as possible. This exposes children to a multitude of sports with a focus on playing and learning instead of practicing, and provides an environment that may nurture a genuine love for a sport so that productive, structured practice may follow when they are older. Here is where Ready Steady Go Kids comes in. We are the largest multi sports program in Australia and we have won multiple awards for our fantastic sports program for pre-schoolers. With children learning the basics of 10 different sports over 2 terms, they are experiencing some sports that they may never have tried. With classes that now start from 1.5 years to 6 years of age in age appropriate classes, your child will love it. They are fun and interactive and with each child having their own equipment, we don’t sit or stop for long. I would like to introduce myself to you all. My name is Vanessa Broadley and I am the Central Coast owner of Ready Steady Go kids. I have been running classes on the Central Coast now for 6 years and we now have classes at 4 locations: Erina, Charmhaven, Terrigal and Woy Woy. We have grown significantly in the last 2 years with our GET READY (1.5-2.5 years program) being introduced, and I see our program as a leading activity on the coast. Our children love coming to our classes because they get to try different things each week. We change it up so they are doing a different sport every 2 weeks, and lots of different skills, Plus we have awesome instructors running our classes. Our youngsters don’t see it as sport, they see it as a chance to explore. Parents see it as a way to expend energy, try new things and stimulate their minds while learning life skills. If you are looking for such an activity, we offer FREE TRIALS at all our venues, but you best be quick to book your spot as classes fill fast.
