Fun and Sports Kids Camp & Classes

Fun and Sports is an organization that all LA families should know about. Fun and Sports provides sports classes and camps to kids of all ages. My son took an hour-long sports class once a week after pre-school this year with founder of the program, Coach Samir, and a few friends. Coach Samir has a real passion for teaching kids sports. He is so vivacious and fun that all the kids love him. The classes introduce small groups of kids to many different kinds of sports, and also incorporate games into the class. In my son’s class, which was held at Plummer Park, the kids were constantly moving, laughing and engaged. Fun and Sports has a summer day camp (and also they hold a program over Spring Break) located at various different parks in LA. If you have a son or daughter that is just starting to get sporty, Fun and Sports is a great way to get them started learning about sports. I also like Fun and Sports because it does not require a huge time commitment like some of the more intense athletic programs in the city. AYSO soccer, for example, is supposed to have a great soccer program, but due to its rigorous schedule, is sometimes referred to fondly by LA parents as All Your Saturdays Are Over.

One other fantastic way to use Fun and Sports is to hire a few of the staff members to play sports and games with kids at a birthday party, barbecue, or even a school picnic. Each staff member I have encountered has been enthusiastic, fun, and great with kids at every level. They coach kids aged 3-17 years old.
