OUR PROGRAM
Our Mission
At Jumping Jim’s, our mission is to inspire children to enjoy being active while building confidence, coordination and social skills in a fun and supportive environment.
Through engaging activities and positive encouragement, we help children develop a lifelong appreciation for movement, teamwork and healthy habits.
Program Details
Jumping Jim’s program is designed to keep children active, engaged and confident while developing important movement and coordination skills.
Our centre-based sessions run for 20 minutes, while our community classes run for 30 minutes. Each session typically includes 2–4 fun and engaging activities led by a trained Jumping Jim’s coach, designed to keep children moving while building confidence and participation.
Centre-based classes are run in conjunction with QLD school terms, divided into four 10-week blocks. Find the centres we operate in here.
Our program focuses on developing fundamental movement skills, including running, jumping, balancing, throwing, catching and kicking. These skills are introduced through fun activities such as ball games, obstacle courses, parachute play and sports-inspired challenges.
Throughout our sessions, we also incorporate simple educational elements such as counting, colour recognition and basic healthy lifestyle concepts, helping children learn while they move and play.
Our program includes a sticker booklet rewards system to help children track their progress and celebrate their achievements throughout the year. Families also have the option to purchase a Jumping Jim’s medallion and certificate to recognise their child’s participation and progress
Jumping Jim’s encourages participation, confidence and teamwork, creating a positive and supportive environment where children can enjoy being active.
