A recap of Term 1, 2020

 

What an exciting start to 2020 we have had! With the new year has come many changes and additions for KMS!

Term 1 has seen a number of new venues open across NSW, Victoria and NZ! With many busy families keen to join our program, we have opened even more weekend venues! We have had great numbers at all these weekend venues and are happy to see many new returning families take advantage of our weekend classes. We have also doubled up on many of our busy weekday venues, allowing for even more families to enjoy their daily sessions!

In an exciting first for KMS, we have opened our very own KMS dedicated venue in Highton, VIC. We are running sessions at the Hightin Multipurpose Centre 7 days a week and are looking to include even more sessions here from Term 2 onwards. In order to create an exciting centre for families, we are looking to fill the enclosed courtyard with a number of toys/activities for the children. If you have any toys the kids no longer use and you would like to donate, please let us know and we will be happy to take them off your hands.

Along with our new venues we also have a number of new coaches joining our team this term, as well as some training ready to start their own sessions next term. We would like to welcome all of the new faces to our team as we look forward to working with you in 2020!

So far in 2020 we have attended a number of events throughout the community. In NSW we were lucky enough to visit the BIG4 Holiday Park in Foster/Tuncurry and provide weekly sports activities for their guests. We have also attended a numberof family events, such as the NightJar markets in Geelong as well as plenty of school fundraisers/fun days. If you have an event coming up that you would like us to help out with, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Term 1 saw the introduction of our 'pop-up store'. We all know the benefit of practicing our skills at home and to make your life easier. we have brought the store to you! Our 'pop-up store' sells KMS branded sports equipment, currently ALF balls, basketballs, rugby balls and soccer balls in all states, as well as our new tennis racquets in VIC! You simply take what equipment you would like and we follow up with your invoice - it's that simple! We are looking to start selling even more KMS branded equipment in term 2, including cricket bats, balls and tees, soccer nets and tennis racquets! Keep an eye out at your venuew or on our website for when these go on sale!

As you would all know, due to COVID-19 we sadly had to cancel the end of term 1. However, we were not deterred by the changing situation and have adapted for term 2! Term 2, 2020 will be running completely online through ZOOM. The online sessions run  for 45 minutes and follow the structure as our usual sessions, including songs, a warm up, races, skills and a game to finish up. At only $11 per session, the program is a reasonably priced activity to keep the kids active and entertained within their own home. It also allows them to keep in touch with other mini-sporters and KMS team members.

Bookings are now open - simply email fiona@kellyminisports.com.au to book a trial or full term.

Your Kelly Mini Sports News

 

Coach JonoTerm 3 2019 was a very exciting term for Kelly Mini Sports - we branched across the ditch and have now started sessions in New Zealand! We are very excited to have Auckland local Coach Jono join the minis team. Jono started his coaching career with Kelly Sports whilst studying a Bachelor of Sport and Leisure. Since graduating, Jono has gained a vast array of experience in the health and fitness industry, from strength and conditioning training to health promotion for both students and teachers in schools. Jono is now managing our sister company Kelly Sports on the Hibiscus Coast and has started our very first Kelly Mini Sports sessions in NZ!

 

Back in Aus, Term 3 saw even more expansion across each NSW, QLD and VIC. We opened plenty of new locations in each of these states, coinciding with the recruitment of a number of new coaches. We would like to welcome all of the new faces to the team, many of whom you will have already met, and look forward to working together to develop a lifelong love of sports!

 

As we head into Term 4, we have not only opened more new locations but are now getting ready for our Christmas Fun Days! Our themed fun days are a great way to get the kids out of the house and into the festive spirit. The kids participate in a 45 minute KMS session, followed by an interactive Santa sing-along. The dates and locations of our 2019 Christmas Fun Days will be announced in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on your emails and socials so you don’t miss these great events!

June, 2019

With June coming to a close, we are running our final sessions for Term 2, 2019. Once again we were happy to see an increase in our enrolments across the country, with a total of just under 2,000 kids enrolled - a record for the program! Term 2 also saw the introduction of our Kelly Mini Dance program in Victoria, with many budding dancers having a great time in the classes. We are hoping to expand our dance program further in VIC, and then into NSW and QLD as well.

We also had one new coach join us in June - Coach Scott Hillier! Scott has just moved to Victoria from Wellington, NZ! He is an avid football player and is playing for Avondale FC. You will find Scott coaching in Mount Waverley and Kew - welcome to the team Scott!

A highlight for June would definitely have to be our Superhero and Princess Themed Dress Up Week. Both kids and coaches alike had a great time dressing up as their favourite characters for the week, with our Superhero and Princess Shows ending the week with some extra entertainment!

At the start of June we were lucky enough to attend the What’s On 4 Kids Awards for a second time. We were nominated in 7 categories and lucky enough to win the People’s Choice award in 4 of these categories:

  • Best National Preschooler Activity (3-5 years) - People’s Choice Winner
  • Outstanding Coach/Teacher for 0-5 year olds: Pani Moanaroa-Taylor - People’s Choice Winner
  • Best Kids Activity for Cultural Diversity - People’s Choice Winner
  • Best Team Culture - People’s Choice Winner
  • Best National Baby Activity (0-2 years) - Finalist
  • Best National Toddler Activity (2-3 years) - Finalist
  • Best Kids Activity/Party Industry Leader - Finalist

We wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who voted for us and to those who support our program. We would not be where we are today or have the opportunity to achieve such accolades if we did not have such great support from our parents, kids, team and families.

As we head into July we are all getting prepared for Term 3, 2019. With classes commencing late July, we have plenty of new venues opening across the country. See below for a list of our new venues:

NSW

  • Monday - The Ponds
  • Thursday - Hurtsville, Tuggerah, East Gosford

QLD

Kicking off 2019 with a bang!

March - April, 2019

The first quarter of 2019 has seen a lot happening at Kelly Mini Sports! From new coaches and locations, to the introduction of new venues and programs, our team has been working harder than ever to provide the best possible sporting experiences for the kids of Australia!

As Term 1 concludes and we prepare for Term 2, we see a number of new faces joining the KMS team! In NSW we have Sam Eggleton starting up sessions on the Central Coast, as well as Aprelle Ebzery taking over our Western Sydney sessions. In Queensland we have Blake Eager, Harrison Linning and Kieren Sturgiss running sessions across Brisbane, with Matthew Ruhle coaching on the Gold Coast. And in Victoria we have Jordan Tootell who will be coaching in Greenvale.

Term 1 not only saw a number of new faces, but also saw the promotion of a number of our current coaches. Coach Pani has been working hard this term not only coaching her own sessions but with the ongoing training of coaches across NSW. The increasing demand of the program in VIC has allowed Coach Shelley to commence an administrative role on top of her coaching duties. Well done to both Pani and Shelley - these promotions are well deserved! Sadly, the conclusion of Term 1 will also see us saying goodbye to a few faces. Coach Brayden from NSW, who has been running sessions across Western Sydney for the past year, will sadly be leaving us to pursue his career in policing. In Victoria we will be saying farewell to Coach Emily, who has been coaching with us for the past 3 years. Emily is now moving on to pursue her career as a primary school teacher. We wish both Brayden and Emily all the best in their future endeavours!

Always looking to expand, we are excited to have a number of new locations opening up in Term 2, 2019:

NSW

  • Monday - Seven Hills
  • Thursday - Hurtsville, Tuggerah, East Gosford
  • Friday - Bateau Bay

QLD

  • Monday - Caboolture
  • Saturday - Chermside
  • Sunday - Helensvale

VIC

  • Tuesday - Heidelberg
  • Thursday - Lilydale
  • Friday - Macleod

 

 

 

Rolling into 2019

January - February 2019

2019 is well and truly here, with Kelly Mini Sports powering into the new year ready for another 12 months of Creating a Lifelong Love of Sports!!

Following the Christmas New Year break, we got back into the swing of things with our School Holiday Fun Days running throughout January. Keeping with the spirit of summer, the kids were treated to 45 minutes of fun based around cricket and tennis. These exciting programs are great for KMS regulars and first timers alike, and with no bookings required anybody can attend! Keep an eye out for the release of our April School Holiday events.

The new year also brought plenty of new locations and even more exciting, new coaches! Term 1 sees sessions running for the first time in Garden Suburb and Dapto (NSW); Springfield/Camira, Indooroopilly and North Lakes (QLD); and Reservoir, Oakleigh South, Caroline Springs, Box Hill and Mulgrave (VIC). With the help of these new venues, there were over 1,700 kids across Australia attending KMS in the first week of Term 1 - a record for the program!

Not only do we have our fantastic team of coaches back for 2019, but we welcomed 3 new coaches to the team. In Victoria we have Coach Matthew, Coach Carmen and Coach Steph, all starting sessions for the first time in Term 1. Our program could not be where it is today without the hard work and dedication of our team, and we hope to further expand this team as the year continues.

Right at the end of February we had our very first Superhero/Princess themed Fun Day! Following the success of our Dinosaur and Santa Fun Days running late 2018, it’s now time for all the Superheroes, princes and princesses out there to have some fun! With a 45 minute KMS session, followed by an exciting and interactive performance, these events are a great way for the kids to spend the morning with family and friends. With VIC leading the way, we have another of these Fun Days booked in Queensland for March 12th, and NSW dates to be announced Term 2. Keep and eye out for our Easter Fun Day events as well, with dates to be released in the coming weeks!

 

 

A look back on 2018

December - January 2018

As 2018 concludes, we celebrate another year of creating life long love of sports amongst the 1 to 5 year olds of Australia! As always, our aim is to provide the best program possible and thanks to your feedback, we have been able to adapt and develop the program over the course of this year.

One of the most notable developments for 2018 would be the introductio of our fun days! To ensure we constantly provide you with the opportunity to keep your kids active and entertained, we now run special event throughout the school holidays. Similar to our regular program, the session run for 45 minutes and allow the kids to continue practicing their skills. They also allow new mini sporters to get a taste of what KMS is all about! These events have been a great success and we endeavour to increase the number of events running every term.

Looking to supplement and introduce more variety to our regular sports program, 2018 saw the introduction of our Fun Day Special events. Starting with our Dino Fun Days and followed by our Santa Fun Days, these special events run throughout the school term and include a 45 minute sports session, followed immediately by a themed, interactive performance put on by professional kids entertainers. With the great result so far, we will be running these themed special events throughout the year - be sure to keep an eye on our socials as well as your emails for more details on these!

This year we were lucky enough to attend the "What's on 4 Kids Awards" in Brisbane. We were finalists in 5 categories, and lucky enough to receive Homourable Mention for 'Best National Toddlers Activity (2-3 years)'. Our director Cameron Drake was the winner of the "Most Outstanding Activity Leader for Babies (0-2 years)! We look forward to attending the event again in 2019!

Over 2018 we sadly said goodbye to a number of coaches. In September, we also bid farewell to our NSW State Manager Michael Van Rooy. Michael had been with our program for a number of years and made move to Sydney in 2016 to start the program up in NSW. Michael did a great job building the program across NSW and we wish him all the best for his future endeavours. With Michael's departure, our Newcastle Manager Fiona Harrop has now tahen over management of NSW.

The year also saw the introduction of plenty of new locations across all states. With these new locations, we welcomed a number of new coaches to the team. Through opening in new areas as well as increasing the number of locations in our current areas, we finished 2018 with a total of 63 locations in Victoria, 29 locations in New South Wales and 23 locations in Queensland.

Heading into 2019 Kelly Mini Sports will be entering it's 7th year! As always, we hope to continue to develop and improve the program as we grow. We believe through the efforts of our current team, and through the introduction of even more coaches, we will be able to further expand throughout 2019 and into the future, hoping to create a life long love of sports across the nation!

Meet our new coach for Newcastle, Coach Fiona!

“Hi, my name is Coach Fiona and I am now the Newcastle Manager for Kelly Mini Sports! I have a bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science with a major in Health and Physical Education and I have also studied Children's Services. I love to get involved with any sport, and have a particular passion for Soccer. In 2016 I joined the Kelly Mini Sports team with an aim to impart my passion and love for sports onto the next generation. For the past 2 years I have been coaching Kelly Mini Sports sessions across the Western Sydney Area, as well as managing Kelly Sports in the Sydney region. As a result of my coaching success I have now been selected as the Newcastle Manager and will be launching the Kelly Mini Sports program across Newcastle and the Central Coast in Term 2 this year!”

 

As you know we are heavily involved in Community Events and our Kelly Mini Sports coaches in Victoria had a great time at the Red Hill show recently and with over 30 trials booked in for the day, we know our mini-sporters did too! Kids of all ages also had an awesome day at our first ‘fun day’ in Gymea Bay, NSW and it was another big day at the My Kids Market, this time in Sutherland!

Lot’s of new and exciting activities and games from the coaches has lead to some outstanding tries being scored by the kids! Classes in Victoria will be welcoming Rugby League to their toddler and preschooler classes in 2018!

We say goodbye to some of our Giant Sporters who are off to school next year. We have loved being part of your sporting journey and we wish them all the best!

The best winter sports are the ones we can all play!

July 2017

As advocates for kids health, we know that it is important for the well being of all our Sporters to be involved in regular exercise of some kind regardless of the weather outside. And now that we are in the chill of winter, we have introduced Rugby League and refreshed our AFL/Footy classes for all our toddlers and preschoolers to enjoy. However, we know that it can be hard to keep your little ones interested, especially with all that extra energy being couped up in the rainy months!
