Multi-Sport athletic development
Build the athlete. The sport comes after.
Children do not need to choose a favourite sport early to benefit from good training.
In Multi-Sport, they experience different movement demands across Track & Field, Strength & Conditioning, Sport Climbing, Judo and Basketball. Each sport gives your child different things to practise and our coaches a different view of how they move.
We discuss which sports to attend after the assessment, taking your child's interests and your available days into account. They do not need to attend every discipline.
Who is Multi-Sport for?
It may suit a child who:
- is trying organised sport for the first time
- enjoys being active but has not chosen a main sport
- already plays sport and would benefit from broader movement experience
- has become very specialised and needs more variety in the way they move; or
- wants structured coaching without the pressure to compete.
The standard programme is for ages 7–12 by calendar year. A child who turns seven during the year of attendance is eligible.
What your child works on in each sport
Track & Field
Children practise running mechanics, acceleration and rhythm. Coaches can see how they organise their steps, use their arms, change pace and maintain movement quality as speed increases.
Strength & Conditioning
Children work on strength, trunk control, balance and movement quality through age-appropriate coached exercises. The coach chooses exercises and difficulty to suit the children taking part.
Sport Climbing
Climbing challenges grip, body positioning, coordination and the ability to plan a sequence of movements before acting.
Judo
Judo develops balance, footwork, controlled contact and the ability to respond to another person while staying composed.
Basketball
Basketball gives children practice in coordination, spatial awareness, reacting to others and changing direction in a moving environment.
