Does anyone know of any type of sports/groups for pre-school aged children in the area? My son is almost 4 and wants to be involved in some kind of sports group like his older brother and friends and I have not been able to find anything in the age range. Please let me know if you are aware of anything.
Thanks,
Alicia

My daughter, who is 2.5, also wants to start a sport - soccer. Her daddy coaches the middle school team where he teaches and after watching him and the game, she loves it. My hubby couldn't be happier.

I'd also love any information!

I've heard a lot of good things about the prekarate program at O2b. They start at age 4 and go until kindergarten. You may want to try there.

The YMCA offers:

soccer 3 and up
t-ball 3 and up
basketball 3 and up

The seasons are fairly short about 8 weeks and the cost is fairly inexpensive.

Tumblemania is a great place for gymnastics starting at age 2 - I have 3 girls that take classes there and they are reasonable as well - 1st child $45 2nd child $35 and 3rd $20 for one class per week each month. I know that O2B kids does not offer that; you have to pay the same rate for each child.
