Thrill seekers, adrenaline junkies and kids with just too much energy we hope you’re listening, ‘cause we’ve got a guide you’re going to love. Move over tennis and soccer, we’re pushing the envelope with some adventure sports (don’t worry, there’s nothing really dangerous)! Let’s go!

 

WATER POLO

28 Degrees Aquatic

Former national water polo player, Ng Ker Wei, teaches kids everything he knows, with the Flippa Ball Fun Play programme – a modified junior version of water polo that teaches youngsters the basics. Absolute beginners (from 6 years of age) start off learning Flippa Ball, before progressing into the fully-fledged competitive water polo training programmes. Classes are designed to develop water confidence, build teamwork skills, and be a bit of fun too!

PARKOUR

A2 Movements

Be the hippest mama in town by taking your munchkins to Kids Parkour Training each Sunday at SMU Big Steps. For kiddos aged 5 to 13 years, the programme teaches the techniques and principles of Parkour (a discipline that teaches peeps to move quickly and efficiently through the environment using only their bodies and surroundings to propel themselves – it’s kinda awesome). Definitely something different to try, Parkour is particularly useful for developing agility and coordination in children (as well as being a bit of non-trad fun!).

ICE SKATING

Kallang Ice World

Littlies as young as 6 years old can get out on the ice and learn to ice-skate in the tropics! Ice World at Kallang Leisure Centre offers private and group lessons, for everyone from beginners to more advanced students. Mini ice skaters (6 to 21 years) can even join the “Too Cool for School” June holiday camps – it’s a 2-day hands-on, ice skating camp (with plenty of fun and games!).

Skate Star at The Rink

Singapore’s only national learn-to-skate programme, Skate Star aims to cultivate the sport of ice-skating (tough gig we know!). The multi-level programme teaches the fundamentals of ice-skating through a progression of skills that remains fun, challenging and rewarding for littlies. Developed by the Singapore Ice Skating Association, Skate Star is available at The Rink at JCube, for those aged 6 years and above.

Sassy Mama Tip: for junior skaters who already know how to tear up the ice like a pro, head to the 600 square metre skating rink at the Marina Bay Shoppes ($7 per hour for adults, $6 per hour for children aged 5-11years including skate hire).

FLYING TRAPEZE

Flying Trapeze Sentosa

Fancy sending your little ones flying through the air with the greatest of ease? Well, unfortunately we’re not talking about shooting them out of a canon, but you can head towards the flying trapeze on Sentosa and unleash their inner circus star. Preschoolers (as young as 4!) can try out the trapeze, with instructors available to give timid littlies a helping hand. Best part here is that they also do kid’s birthday parties – with catering by the fabulous Trapizza.

ROCK CLIMBING

The Rock School

Aimed at mini mountaineers from as young as 4 years old, the Fun Climb programme helps first-timers get climbing in a fun and safe environment. Focusing on teaching basic climbing techniques, graduates can progress into the Step Up programme, an in-depth structured class that furthers climbing skills through games and activities. We love that even mama can get in on the action and join a Double Up class (a parent/child accompanied rock-climbing class)… Just don’t look down mama!

Lessons are tailored to each child’s skill level – they’ll be standing up on a board and cruising the lake (and maybe even doing a trick or two) in no time at all. Be still our beating hearts…

This mini-ropes course will have active bunnies climbing and swinging their way across Sentosa beach, as they burn off that energy! Based on the ClimbMax adventure ropes course – take note of this one too mama, it’s fab for older ones needing a physical challenge – the mini monkeys course is the smaller version of the original.
