The fun introduction to athletics

Where kids have a blast while building athletic super-skills! Created by Welsh Athletics.

Playtime with purpose

At Starting Blocs, we turn runs, jumps, and throws into super skills! Our playful sessions are secretly packed with serious benefits (but don’t tell the kids).

What kids get:

  • Build FUNdamental movement skills
  • Friend making opportunities
  • Opportunity to make new friends and build social skills
  • Boost confidence

Super Movement Powers for Life!


What’s physical literacy? It’s like giving your child a magical backpack of movement skills they’ll use FOREVER! At Starting Blocs, we disguise important development as super-fun games.

Your Child’s Physical Literacy Toolkit:

  • Balance, coordination, and agility
  • “I can do it!” moments that build self-belief
  • Learning how movement works through play
  • Taking turns, teamwork, and making friends
  • Setting up a lifelong love for being active
