We know that kids love to be active but also involved in something meaningful at the same time, even if it’s just playing games with friends or learning more about how their bodies work. That’s why at GeckoSports we offer a range of fun multi-sport programs for children (2 to 12 years old), all developed with input from leading exercise scientists, physiotherapists, childhood psychologists, professional athletes, expert kids’ coaches and primary school educators.
Who We Are
Our programs help kids develop all-around sporting skills and physical fitness, but most importantly, the opportunity to boost self-esteem and confidence! Whether it be at school, before or after school, during the holidays, at a community event or birthday party, GeckoSports offers a variety of sporting programs that will keep your kids engaged and excited about fitness!

After-School & Holiday Programs
All year round, we have your kids covered with our weekly term-based after-school classes and holiday programs. We offer a variety of programs from multi-sports to fitness/ bootcamp and fun themed activities. Structured for real results with sport-specific skills and maximum fun in a non-competitive environment, no class is the same with a different sport each week. Our holiday programs offer the latest themes and action-packed fun!
Birthday Parties
Our hour-of-power parties are designed for primary school-aged kids (turning 5 to 12 years old). Choose from an outdoor mobile or an indoor venue party. Whichever way you do it, your child’s Gecko party will be a hit! We have lots of awesome fun themes to choose from, including our famous Ninja Warrior, Mini Olympics and Multi Sports parties. If you’re looking for a stress-free, super fun party, look no further.

Our History
GeckoSports is a national award-winning kids multi-sport and activity leader. Founded in 2007 by a renowned Aussie fitness entrepreneur and exercise scientist, a decade later we launched the first of many franchises where the baton was passed to Kim O’Donnell.
Kim’s passion for all things, sport, fitness and helping kids stay active, led her to become the new owner and franchisor of GeckoSports. She enjoys coaching kids herself and supporting her franchise partners to grow with inspiring leadership and a desire to make a real change.
We’re all about connecting with kids in local communities to keep them active, healthy and happy!
