Where kids go from shy to strong, silly to focused, and from walking to winning.
At Mini Athletics, we don’t just teach movement—we ignite imaginations.Kids become superheroes saving the day, Olympians racing for gold, or jungle explorers on the run—all while developing real athletic skills, teamwork, and unshakable confidence.
And it's scientifically backed:
90% of a child’s brain develops before age 5
Fundamental movement skills in early years = lifelong athletic ability
Originally founded in the UK by a professional soccer trainer and an early years educator, Mini Athletics became a beloved, award-winning program across Europe.
Now, brought to the Carolinas by Allison Bridges, a Lake Norman mom, business leader, and former collegiate athlete, Mini Athletics North Charlotte + Lake Norman is changing lives—and earned a Top Impact Company award from Light Up Charlotte.
