At SportsDome, we believe in the immense health, social, and mental benefits of children and parents engaging in sports and recreational activities. Active participation fosters not only physical development but also strengthens emotional and social connections between families. For more insights into these benefits, we encourage you to explore Participaction Canada.

At the toddler stage, our primary goal is simple: fun and discovery. Introducing children to sports should be an enjoyable and engaging experience, where they begin to see the joy in being active rather than focusing on specific skills or techniques. Our approach is rooted in the idea that when children associate fun with sports, they are more likely to develop a lifelong passion for physical activity.

Most adults, especially those with a background in a particular sport, may instinctively try to teach their toddlers specific techniques. However, we believe that this often leads to frustration, loss of focus, and eventually, loss of interest.

That’s why, over the last decade, SportsDome has honed an award-winning curriculum that prioritizes fun for both children and adults. Our games and activities are carefully designed to keep toddlers engaged while subtly helping them develop important motor and social skills.

We embrace a pull vs. push approach when it comes to toddler engagement. Our sessions include many short, dynamic activities with vibrant props, colors, and fun elements that naturally pull children back into the activity when their focus shifts—something that happens regularly with toddlers!

We discourage the instinct to push toddlers into participating when they lose focus. Instead, we allow them to take a break if needed and then encourage them to join back in during the next activity. This ensures that they stay engaged on their own terms, making their experience positive and enjoyable.

At SportsDome, we’re not trying to create the next sports superstar. Instead, we’re focusing on instilling a love for the game, building confidence, and ensuring both children and parents have a great time on the field. If your child is destined to become a star, that will happen in due time. For now, it’s all about having fun!
