Little SPORT in Maple Shade, NJ 08052

Little SPORT is an indoor play and sport facility that offers open play and sports-oriented classes for babies and preschoolers.

Little SPORT's bright, clean Open Play Arena - available for kids to play or practice what they've learned in Little SPORT classes - offers a mini alphabet track, a multi-sport field, a multi-hoop basketball wall, multi-sport cages, an interactive ball room, horse swings, and an "X-Games" climbing area. There is also a special area designated for crawlers only.

All Little SPORT classes are taught by a certified instructor in a visually stimulating training room, and most follow a similar routine that's adjusted to the participants' age group. Each class begins with a stretching routine and a starting cheer, followed by the introduction of the sports of the day; age-appropriate skills and drills are then taught and played. Two different sports are taught weekly in each 13-week session.

Classes are available for all preschool age groups, from SPORTBaby Classes for parents and babies ages 10 to 18 months, to Olympian Classes for kids ages four-and-a-half through Kindergarten. The Champions Class is designed for athletes with special needs. Champions uses the same structure as other classes, but is modified to the individual abilities of each participant. The Little Kickers Playgroup, available for infants and babies up to 18 months, is held the Open Play Arena, and offers a non-structured play environment where parents can interact with their babies and other parents.

Parties: Little SPORT offers several party packages. The basic Open Party includes one hour of open play with the general public in the Open Play Arena with a Little SPORT associate, one half-hour in a private party room, party set-up and clean-up, a t-shirt for the birthday child, thank you notes, and paper goods, juice, and balloons for each guest. Food, Little SPORT favors, and customized cakes are available for additional fees.
