About
Ready Steady Go Kids commenced in 2004 in our quest to help all children benefit from sport and physical activity. Today, our physio-designed program is run at approximately 200 locations across Australia and many more internationally.
Our Classes
Each Ready Steady Go Kids class is run indoors for a duration of 45 minutes, and we cover five sports per term.
Our classes are designed to focus on a specific gross motor, hand-eye/foot-eye and/or balance activity to complement the sport component and our program structure is repeated each week so that participants become familiar and comfortable with the routine.
To ensure that every participant receives a high level of attention and support, we maintain a low instructor to student ratio. Our instructors have (as a minimum) a Level 1 Coaching qualification under the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme from the Australian Sports Commission, a current working with children check and extensive experience in teaching preschool-aged children.
We invite and encourage parental participation in our classes, and – trust us – parents love our classes as much as the kids!
