The club comes highly recommended to any parent or guardian of a five to eleven-year-old child, who would like to enhance their child's running, jumping, throwing and improve agility, balance, co-ordination; speed, power and endurance whilst having fun, as well as making new friends and getting Active.

Children do not have to be talented in any particular sport, but simply to enjoy having fun and taking part in games as Wildcats is especially designed to cater for this age group. The appropriately qualified and vetted coaches are trained to progress the fundamental movement skills taught in schools and breakdown the acquisition of basic sporting skills for all abilities.
