Our Philosophy🦁
At Sport Lion, we believe in the power of sport to shape confident, capable, and happy children. Our philosophy is built around three simple words: Move. Learn. Grow.
We create fun, high-energy sessions that not only get kids active but also teach important life skills like teamwork, resilience, and communication. Every session is designed to help children develop physically, mentally, and socially—at their own pace and with lots of encouragement.
By making movement enjoyable and inclusive, we inspire a lifelong love for sport and healthy living.
Our Curriculum 📚⚽
At Sport Lion, our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support children’s development across all ages and abilities. We follow a progressive, age-appropriate framework that focuses on key physical, cognitive, and social skills—while keeping fun at the heart of every session.
🌱 Early Years (Nurseries & EYFS)
We focus on developing fundamental movement skills such as balance, coordination, agility, and basic motor skills. Through imaginative play, themed activities, and gentle guidance, we build confidence and introduce children to the joy of movement.
🏃♂️ Primary Schools (KS1 & KS2)
Our sessions promote teamwork, skill-building, and active learning. Children take part in a wide range of sports like football, basketball, rugby, athletics, and more. We help pupils improve technique, understand game rules, and develop a positive attitude towards physical activity.
