Little Champs
The Little Champs Sport Academy was established in 1996 with the aim of promoting and
developing motor skills in children aged 2 – 7. They use advanced coaching methods to
promote fundamental life skills that facilitate the development of coordination, character
and confidence in children. These skills are encouraged through playful sports related
activities, which are incorporated into carefully constructed gross motor skills
development programmes to improve speed, agility, balance, eye-hand & eye foot
co-ordination and spatial awareness. At the end of a Little Champs programme, each Little
Champ is equipped with motor skills and life skills that give them self-confidence,
agility and poise. These skills are transferred to children through various different
forums (schools, centres, holiday programmes), which encourage interaction between
children from different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Their mascot, Charlie
Champ, is a wide-eyed, smiling, trophy that symbolises victory and merriment with his open
arms.
