Minis in Action

Our Minis programs are designed to help children ages 3–5 build confidence, coordination, and foundational skills through active play. In a fun and supportive environment, young athletes are introduced to age-appropriate activities that encourage movement, learning, and social development. Each class focuses on participation, skill-building, and creating positive experiences with sports and physical activity.

Mini Sports FAQs

Our Minis programs are designed for children ages 3–5. Participants must be 3 years old by the start of the program and cannot enroll as a 2-year-old who will turn 3 during the session.

Coach’s Note: Based on our experience, children around 3½ years old are often the most prepared for group instruction and activities, though every child develops at their own pace.

The JCC will provide all equipment needed for each sport. Participants are welcome to bring their own equipment if they prefer. A sport-specific equipment list, if applicable, will be provided to parents prior to the start of class.

Minis classes are held Monday through Thursday, depending on the program and activity. Specific class days and times will be listed during registration.

If your child is enrolled in ECD or After School Care at the JCC, our coaches will pick them up and bring them to class. Parents who plan to pick up their child directly from ECD for a Minis class must provide an authorized pickup form to their child’s teacher prior to the start of the program.

To help maintain a safe and engaging environment, Minis classes are limited to a 1:7 coach-to-participant ratio. Most classes are staffed with 2–3 coaches, allowing for additional instruction, supervision, and individual attention throughout each session.

Registration is available online or at the Welcome Desk.
