After sitting in class all day, kids are ready to MOVE! Whether they’re bouncing off the walls, racing you to the car, or turning your living room into a jungle gym, it’s clear: little bodies were made to stay active. Sports and fitness programs give them the perfect outlet—not just to burn off energy, but to learn teamwork, build confidence, and discover what practice (and a little sweat!) can do.
Louisville has no shortage of options to get your kiddos moving and grooving. From cartwheels in gymnastics, to splashing in the pool, scoring goals on the field, or finding their own groove in a fitness class, there’s something for every child’s personality and energy level.
Check out the categories below and see what catches their eye:
- Gymnastics & Dance
- Swimming
- Team Sports
- Individual Sports
