How does LeapStar Kids work?

We have an online program built to guide any adult who is leading children in physical education. With an extensive activity library, built-in lesson plans, and five-level progression, LeapStar Kids is easy to use and understand. Through videos and straightforward instructions, you’ll be equipped to plan activities and teach physical fitness in a fun way!

 

Five-Star Progression

We know all kids are different and will excel in their own way. That’s why we designed LeapStar Kids to progress along with them. Each agility has five levels, so as children succeed in a skill, they can continue to be challenged and improve as they progress from One Star to Five Star.  

Multiple Sports

We cover 14 sports in our program plus agility and motor skill development. Many children’s athletic programs focus on a specific sport, but this is where LeapStar Kids is different from the rest. We emphasize practicing the agility and motor skills needed for a wide range of sports. We believe this helps children learn what they like and have confidence to try different sports as they grow. 

Ages 18 Months and Above

As early as 18 months, children can start learning with our One Star skills. It’s ideal for kids to have exposure trying new movements at a young age to build their confidence. As kids get older, things like peer pressure, making mistakes, and fitting in can hinder their willingness to try. We’ve found that children who start early have the confidence to keep going. They’ll learn basic skills and muscle development that can support them long term, whether playing sports or living an active, healthy life.

Encouraging Culture

We believe each child is special, and an integral part of our philosophy is to encourage and uplift children as they learn. Through our online program, we promote a culture of showing kindness, building confidence, and being willing to try. We want to empower kids to excel in their natural interests and learn to love moving their bodies!

Founder

Started by Gina Walters, LeapStar Kids is built from 25+ years of experience and passion. Gina still lights up talking about how physical education can help kids lay a foundation for a healthy, confident life. 

 

As a college basketball player with a degree in Exercise Science and lifelong lover of sports, Gina is a natural in the field of physical fitness. What began as volunteering at a local gym to help pay for her girls’ gymnastics classes has turned into a career of training and teaching thousands of kids to love being active. Now, with 15 grandkids and counting, Gina has a built-in crew with whom she can practice and develop LeapStar Kids!

Gina’s ultimate goal is to see this program enrich the lives of children worldwide by giving them confidence both in the athletic arena and in life. By providing step-by-step guidance, learn-as-you-go training, and a focus on developing key agility and motor skills, LeapStar Kids is a five star program in every sense of the word. It is created with heart and excellence, and the practices that built this program have produced tried and true results for more than two decades.
