    🎾⚽ Why Multi-Sports is the Perfect Way to Celebrate Big Sporting Events Like Wimbledon and the Euros

    The summer holidays are packed with exciting sporting events — like the Euros and Wimbledon. You’ll often find children watching in awe as their favourite players score goals or serve aces.

    But what if they could do more than just watch?

    At Leapfrog Sports, our award-winning multi-sports classes give children aged 2–7 the chance to try the sports they’re seeing on TV — helping them build real skills, grow in confidence, and develop a lifelong love of being active.


    ⚽ From Spectators to Participants

    When children see athletes performing on the world stage, it sparks curiosity: “Could I do that?”

    Our multi-sports approach means we can tap into that excitement straight away. This July, for example, our weekend classes are all about football and tennis — giving children a chance to join in the fun as the Euros and Wimbledon capture national attention.

    Because we rotate through 11 core sports (plus fun guest sessions), there’s always something new to look forward to — and always a way to link back to what’s happening in the world of sport.


    🏃 Why Variety Matters

    Trying a different sport each week helps children:

    • Build fundamental physical skills (balance, coordination, agility)
    • Discover what they enjoy without pressure to specialise too soon
    • Stay engaged and excited every week
    • Learn teamwork, sportsmanship, and resilience

    Our sessions are designed to be inclusive, supportive, and fun — whether your child is full of energy, feeling shy, or just beginning to explore what they enjoy.


    💬 What Parents Say

    “My daughter came home after playing tennis and immediately asked if we could watch Wimbledon together. It’s lovely to see her so enthusiastic!”

    Many of our classes run through the summer holidays, and a 4-week trial is just £15.

  • Worried About Sports Day? Here’s How to Help Your Child Feel Confident and Ready

    Worried About Sports Day? Here’s How to Help Your Child Feel Confident and Ready

    It’s that time of year again — the one that can bring big nerves for young people. If your child gets anxious about sports day, or you’ve felt that pang of worry watching them struggle, just know you’re absolutely not the only one.

    In fact, we’ve heard from so many parents over the years who’ve said things like:

    • “They cried all morning last year just thinking about it.”
    • “Mine said they were poorly to get out of it.”
    • “She was so upset when she came last that she didn’t want to try again next year.”

    And while sports day is meant to be fun, it’s easy to forget how big and overwhelming it can feel — especially for younger or less confident kids.

    It’s Not About Winning — It’s About Feeling Capable

    Most children don’t need to come first. They just want to feel like they can take part without freezing up, falling behind, or feeling different.

    Practising movement in a fun, supportive way makes a huge difference. When kids build skills like balance, running, jumping, and coordination gradually — and without pressure — they start to feel more confident in themselves.


    💡 5 Simple Ways to Help Your Child Feel More Confident About Sports Day

    Here are a few things you can try at home to help ease the nerves:

    Talk about what to expect
    Even a simple chat about what might happen — the races, the cheering, the outdoor fun — can help ease uncertainty.

    Praise effort, not results
    Let them know you’re proud of them for trying, not just placing.

    Practise playfully
    Have a little family “sports day” in the garden — egg & spoon, beanbag toss, balancing. Keep it light!

    Normalise nerves
    Let them know it’s okay to feel wobbly — even grown-ups do!

    Celebrate the small wins
    Afterwards, focus on what went well — maybe they joined in, smiled, or encouraged a friend.


    🐸 A Gentle Way to Build Confidence Before the Big Day

    If you feel like your child would benefit from some extra practice — in a supportive setting — we’d love to help.

    At Leapfrog Sports, we run fun, structured classes for ages 2–7 that focus on building movement skills and confidence. The children don’t even realise they’re learning things like running in lanes, balancing, jumping, and throwing — it all happens through games and play.

    Many of our families have told us that our classes helped their child go from dreading sports day… to actually looking forward to it.

    We offer a 4-week trial for just £15 — no pressure, no big commitment, just a great way to build skills and confidence at their own pace.

    We run sessions across Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, and South Birmingham — and if it sounds like something that might help your little one, feel free to take a look here:
