Celebrating 10 years in 2008

Littlesports Australia is a unique program that provides young children with opportunities to acquire physical skills and participate in a range of sports and activities including cricket, football, netball, soccer, basketball, tennis, hockey, dance, gymnastics and playground games. These activities lay firm foundations for a child’s physical development.

There are 2 programs designed for the age of your child:- Littlesports is the program designed for children aged 3 to 5 years old. Juniorsports is for children aged 5 to 8 years old.

Created by

Annie Millen who is a qualified Physical Education Teacher of 20 years, Physical Education University Teacher and a mother of two children.

Annie wrote the program because she was concerned by the inactive lifestyles of many children today – watching television, playing computer and video games, poor coordination, childhood obesity and loss of confidence by being left out of playground games and activites. “I grew up in the country where I played many sports from an early age and I loved the social connections and confidence sport gave me. My school years were enjoyable and teachers college was a great extension of my practical knowledge of many sports. My children are lovers of sport and with this comes great friends, contentment and experiences. I wrote the program with all these ingredients in mind and hope that this will in turn be a good recipe for your children.”

Annie’s Beliefs

My experience has enabled me to appreciate the value of teaching basic motor skills early in a child’s life when the potential for learning is at its greatest. This lays a firm foundation for future play and sport which promotes good self-esteem and builds confidence for participation in sport and playground games at school.

Littlesports Teachers

Littlesports teachers are qualified teachers with many years of experience in early learning and Junior Primary Physical Education. Many of the staff are also mums of Primary aged children which I believe makes them practically aware and understanding of children at this age. The teachers follow the program written and taught by Annie Millen (Director and writer of the program), however their fun, energetic and patient personalities really encourage children to develop a great love of sport.
