Some of the best accessories include:</p><ul><li>Mouthguard</li><li>Gloves</li><li>Knee and elbow pads</li><li>Soft helmet</li></ul><p>Combat sports supplies are available at stores which sell other sporting equipment. If your child is going to take up a martial art, they will also need to purchase a uniform.</p><p>The three main techniques used in combat sports include grappling (pinning, clinching or take down&#39; wrestling); striking; and use of weapons or sticks.</p><p>There are lots of combat sports for girls and boys alike.

 Self- defence is a great way to make your kids safer in everyday life and less likely to be bullied. They can develop great self-confidence as well as becoming much fitter and healthier. Combat sports are often described as yoga sped up. This means that your kids can derive the same calming demeanour from the sport as yoga practitioners, in addition to the more active physical benefits.</p>

<p>If your kids are keen to start learning chess, there are a couple of choices.

You may also find local private chess clubs in our <a href="directory/">ActiveActivities Directory</a>. Your children will learn complex strategies and may wish to step in formal competitions within the chess clubs or at a regional or national level and measure themselves against the beautiful minds of their own age.</p>

<p>Can your kids use a computer?<br />
Computer chess is growing in popularity and is a fun way for kids to take lessons and play online against other people. Just like the real life version, computer chess uses a black and white chessboard and all the same pieces including bishops, pawns and queen to simulate the real experience.</p>

<p>If your child gets into chess you will probably want to purchase a chess set which can be bought cheaply at a toy shop. Some portable chess sets can be slipped into a pocket.</p>

<p>Playing chess is a highly enjoyable way to stimulate young brains and your child may reap the benefits for years to come!</p>"

        string(4810) "<p>Hello Aussie parents and carers! Are you contemplating introducing your little one to the world of sports? It&#39;s an exciting step, but with so many options, it can be a bit overwhelming. From Swimming Classes to <a href="https://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/ball-sports/soccer/soccer-classes-lessons/">Soccer Classes</a>, and <a href="https://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/pre-school-sports/">Pre School Sports</a> programs, the choices are endless. Let&#39;s explore how to select the right sport for your child, ensuring it&rsquo;s enjoyable, beneficial, and a great fit for their budding abilities.</p>

<h2>Understanding Your Child&#39;s Interests and Abilities</h2>

<p>Before diving into the plethora of sports available, take a moment to observe your child. What activities do they naturally gravitate towards? Are they more interested in individual challenges or team-based games? Understanding their interests and physical abilities is key in choosing a sport they will enjoy and excel in.</p>

<h3>Age-Appropriate Sports</h3>

<p>For younger kids, especially in pre-school, focus on sports that enhance basic motor skills and coordination. Activities like tumbling, simple gymnastics, or ball games are great starters. As children grow, their capacity for understanding complex rules and strategies also increases, opening doors to more structured sports.</p>

<h2>The Benefits of Starting Early</h2>

<p>Introducing sports at a young age comes with a myriad of benefits. It helps in developing motor skills, social skills, and even cognitive abilities. Early exposure to physical activity sets a foundation for a healthy lifestyle and can instill a lifelong love for sports.</p>

<h3>Physical and Mental Development</h3>

<p>Participating in sports enhances a child&#39;s physical development, improving strength, coordination, and overall fitness. It also boosts mental health, contributing to higher self-esteem and resilience.</p>

<h2>Popular Sports for Young Children</h2>

<p>Swimming is not just a fun activity; it&#39;s a vital life skill. <a href="http://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/water-sports/swimming/swimming-classes-lessons/">Swimming classes</a> offer a safe environment where children can learn water safety and improve their physical strength. It&#39;s a skill that not only provides a great workout but can also save lives.</p>

<p>Soccer is a fantastic team sport that&#39;s suitable for all ages. It promotes teamwork, coordination, and cardiovascular health. Soccer classes for young children are usually focused more on fun and basic skills rather than competition, making it a great starter sport.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/pre-school-sports/">Pre-school sports programs</a> are specifically designed for young children, focusing on basic skills, fun, and social interaction. These programs often introduce kids to a variety of sports, helping them discover what they enjoy the most.</p>

<h2>Factors to Consider When Choosing a Sport</h2>

<p>Selecting the right sport for your child involves considering several factors:</p>

<h3>Safety</h3>

<p>Always consider the safety of the sport. Ensure the program or class has qualified instructors, appropriate safety gear, and a proven track record of providing a safe environment.</p>

<h3>Convenience</h3>

<p>Consider the location and schedule of the classes. A conveniently located and scheduled sport reduces stress for both you and your child, making the experience more enjoyable.</p>

<h3>Cost</h3>

<p>Be mindful of the costs associated with different sports, including equipment, uniforms, and ongoing class fees.</p>

<h2>Encouraging Your Child</h2>

<p>Once you&rsquo;ve chosen a sport, encourage your child&rsquo;s participation but avoid pressuring them. Celebrate their efforts and progress rather than just their victories. Remember, the goal is to foster a love for sports and physical activity, not just to win games.</p>

<h3>The Role of Parents</h3>

<p>As a parent or carer, your role is to be a supportive and positive influence. Attend their games, help them practice, and most importantly, show interest in what they&rsquo;re learning and achieving.</p>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

<p>Introducing your child to sports is a journey filled with fun, learning, and growth. Whether it&rsquo;s swimming, soccer, or a pre-school sports program, the right sport can spark a lifelong passion for physical activity. Remember, the best sport for your child is one that they look forward to, where they can have fun, make friends, and learn new skills. So go ahead, explore the options, and get ready to cheer on your little athlete!</p>"

<p>Participating in sports enhances a child&#39;s physical development, improving strength, coordination, and overall fitness. It also boosts mental health, contributing to higher self-esteem and resilience.</p>

<h2>Popular Sports for Young Children</h2>

<p>Swimming is not just a fun activity; it&#39;s a vital life skill. <a href="http://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/water-sports/swimming/swimming-classes-lessons/">Swimming classes</a> offer a safe environment where children can learn water safety and improve their physical strength. It&#39;s a skill that not only provides a great workout but can also save lives.</p>

<p>Soccer is a fantastic team sport that&#39;s suitable for all ages. It promotes teamwork, coordination, and cardiovascular health. Soccer classes for young children are usually focused more on fun and basic skills rather than competition, making it a great starter sport.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/pre-school-sports/">Pre-school sports programs</a> are specifically designed for young children, focusing on basic skills, fun, and social interaction. These programs often introduce kids to a variety of sports, helping them discover what they enjoy the most.</p>

<h2>Factors to Consider When Choosing a Sport</h2>

<p>Selecting the right sport for your child involves considering several factors:</p>

<h3>Safety</h3>

<p>Always consider the safety of the sport. Ensure the program or class has qualified instructors, appropriate safety gear, and a proven track record of providing a safe environment.</p>

<h3>Convenience</h3>

<p>Consider the location and schedule of the classes. A conveniently located and scheduled sport reduces stress for both you and your child, making the experience more enjoyable.</p>

<h3>Cost</h3>

<p>Be mindful of the costs associated with different sports, including equipment, uniforms, and ongoing class fees.</p>

<h2>Encouraging Your Child</h2>

<p>Once you&rsquo;ve chosen a sport, encourage your child&rsquo;s participation but avoid pressuring them. Celebrate their efforts and progress rather than just their victories. Remember, the goal is to foster a love for sports and physical activity, not just to win games.</p>

<h3>The Role of Parents</h3>

<p>As a parent or carer, your role is to be a supportive and positive influence. Attend their games, help them practice, and most importantly, show interest in what they&rsquo;re learning and achieving.</p>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

<p>Introducing your child to sports is a journey filled with fun, learning, and growth. Whether it&rsquo;s swimming, soccer, or a pre-school sports program, the right sport can spark a lifelong passion for physical activity. Remember, the best sport for your child is one that they look forward to, where they can have fun, make friends, and learn new skills. So go ahead, explore the options, and get ready to cheer on your little athlete!</p>"

<p>Starting your golf journey requires a blend of enthusiasm, patience, and a solid&nbsp;foundation. Begin by familiarizing yourself with the basics of the game &ndash;understanding the equipment, basic swing fundamentals and etiquette. Additionally, consider exploring introductory resources such as beginner <a href="https://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/ball-sports/golf/golf-classes-lessons/">golf&nbsp;classes </a>as these are less formal and cost effective in a group format.</p>

<h2>When Should I Start Golf Lessons?</h2>

<p>The ideal time to start<a href="https://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/ball-sports/golf/golf-classes-lessons/"> golf lessons</a> varies from person to person. Some may&nbsp;prefer to grasp the fundamentals on their own initially, while others may opt&nbsp;for professional guidance right from the beginning. If you find yourself&nbsp;struggling with consistency or have specific goals in mind, seeking lessons early&nbsp;on can provide you with a structured learning path and immediate feedback to&nbsp;refine your skills.</p>

<h2>How Do I Get the Best Out of My Golf Lessons?</h2>

<p>To maximize the benefits of your golf lessons, it&#39;s crucial to approach each&nbsp;session with a positive mindset and a willingness to learn. Communicate&nbsp;openly with your <a href="https://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/ball-sports/golf/golf-pros-and-teachers/">instructor </a>about your goals, challenges, and expectations.&nbsp;Practice regularly between lessons to reinforce what you&#39;ve learned, and don&#39;t&nbsp;be afraid to ask questions. Consistency is key, and gradual improvement will&nbsp;come with dedicated effort both on and off the course.</p>

<h2>What Do I Need for My First Golf Lesson?</h2>

<p>When preparing for your first <a href="https://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/sports/ball-sports/golf/golf-classes-lessons/">golf lesson</a>, simplicity is key. Ensure you have&nbsp;comfortable athletic wear, shoes and an eagerness to learn with an open mind.&nbsp;<br />
Your instructor will likely provide any additional equipment needed, not&nbsp;required initially but having your own set of clubs is a good investment as you&nbsp;progress in your golfing journey.</p>

<h2>How Do I Choose a Good Golf Instructor?</h2>

<p>Choosing the right golf instructor is pivotal to your learning experience. Look&nbsp;for a professional with a solid background in teaching, relevant certifications,&nbsp;and positive reviews from previous students.</p>

<p>Consider the instructor&#39;s teaching&nbsp;style and whether it aligns with your learning preferences. Personal&nbsp;compatibility is essential for effective communication and a productive&nbsp;learning environment.</p>

<p>Science education is one of the main subjects included in an academic syllabus and pre school activities.

One particular branch of science that gets the attention of children is <a href="directory/category/education/astronomy/">astronomy</a> because of the amazing planets, stars, and constellations. Some parents like bonding with their toddlers by waiting for a shooting star and making a wish; or by identifying the constellations. That is a good way to encourage your kids to gain interest in astronomy. Another thing is to get them to join <a href="directory/category/education/astronomy/astronomy-clubs/">astronomy clubs</a>. They provide a unique opportunity for kids to experience the mysteries of astronomy even outside regular school hours.</p>

<p>Astronomy clubs for kids provide more comprehensive and focused programs beyond the scope of the school curriculum for groups of children. Astronomy clubs bring together kids of the same interest and provide <a href="directory/category/education/astronomy/astronomy-classes-and-lessons/">astronomy classes and lessons</a> covering broad astronomy scopes including learning how to use the telescope, studying about shooting stars, identifying the constellations and the planets of the solar system, and understanding the different seasons. Fun <a href="">kids activities</a> are also conducted such as doing science experiments for kids, going on an educational trip to science centres and observatories, and of course, going stargazing.</p>

<p>Most astronomy clubs for kids in Australia are for children 8 years old and above. You can find these astronomy clubs in most <a href="directory/category/education/science/science-centers/">science centres</a> and science museums. Astronomy societies are composed of amateur astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts within a community; and they also have created astronomy clubs for their kids. For a full list of all the registered astronomy clubs in Australia, visit our <a href="directory/">ActiveActivities Directory</a>. There are also other clubs and groups that deal with other aspects of science for kids if your children have other interests other than astronomy.</p>

<p>With all the things your kids have learned in from astronomy clubs, they now have more ideas how to celebrate Astronomy Day every 28th of July! They can create mini space craft out of unused household materials; or they can transform their room into a mini galaxy by gluing glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling.</p>

<p>Joining astronomy clubs are not only for future astronomers. Studying the stars and the alignment of planets and satellites is also important when navigating the seas and when predicting the weather. Astronomy clubs are therefore also ideal for your little sailors and meteorologists.</p>

"You're missing the point! When assessing your performance, your focus should be on what is was you did right by your audience."
<br><br>
<b>What mistakes am I making?</b><br><br>
You see, in my opinion, a singer's biggest mistake is thinking that any performance is in fact about them... It's actually entirely about your audience. The applause, the praise, and the judge's marks come out of a feeling... How did you make your audience feel? Your audience is extraordinarily selfish, and they genuinely do not care how well you did. They care about having an experience... they desperately want to be moved! People listen to music because they are seeking an escape or processing some emotion... It is your job as an artist to enable them to do to that."

Or rather switch your focus! You can cross-examine the way you sang that day in your mind a trillion times&hellip; ask the judges for a detailed list of your mistakes, and confront your <a href="https://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/performing-arts/singing-and-choir/singing-coaches-teachers/">singing coach</a> about gaps in your learning, but if you don&rsquo;t consider what your audience might have wanted from you that day, you are going about your critique the wrong way.</p>

<p><strong>How do I get it right?</strong></p>

<p>My suggestion would be to start with the question, &ldquo;What did I feel when I was singing that song?&rdquo; If the answer is &ldquo;nervous&rdquo;, my guess is your audience felt nervous for you. If your answer is &ldquo;nothing, I was just thinking about singing it correctly&rdquo;, my guess is your audience was consciously listening for every error.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Next time you are preparing for a performance, choose a song that makes you feel something! Choose a song wherein you can connect with the lyrics or with some emotion of your own. Tap into a memory, a wish, a yearning, a fantasy&hellip; relate it to a book, or a movie, or a story your Mum told you once! Use any device you can, so that once you are on that stage, all you need to do is to fall into that feeling. I guarantee your audience will feel it too, and finally, you will gain the response you&rsquo;ve always daydreamed about... The kind of response no amount of studied and rehearsed technique could possibly achieve on its own.</p>

You can cross-examine the way you sang that day in your mind a trillion times&hellip; ask the judges for a detailed list of your mistakes, and confront your <a href="https://www.activeactivities.com.au/directory/category/performing-arts/singing-and-choir/singing-coaches-teachers/">singing coach</a> about gaps in your learning, but if you don&rsquo;t consider what your audience might have wanted from you that day, you are going about your critique the wrong way.</p>

<p><strong>How do I get it right?</strong></p>

<p>My suggestion would be to start with the question, &ldquo;What did I feel when I was singing that song?&rdquo; If the answer is &ldquo;nervous&rdquo;, my guess is your audience felt nervous for you. If your answer is &ldquo;nothing, I was just thinking about singing it correctly&rdquo;, my guess is your audience was consciously listening for every error.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Next time you are preparing for a performance, choose a song that makes you feel something! Choose a song wherein you can connect with the lyrics or with some emotion of your own. Tap into a memory, a wish, a yearning, a fantasy&hellip; relate it to a book, or a movie, or a story your Mum told you once! Use any device you can, so that once you are on that stage, all you need to do is to fall into that feeling. I guarantee your audience will feel it too, and finally, you will gain the response you&rsquo;ve always daydreamed about... The kind of response no amount of studied and rehearsed technique could possibly achieve on its own.</p>

<p>Dance classes are often created to nurture each child&rsquo;s abilities through achievable goals. Children get to know their own limits and thrive from working outside their comfort zone.

        <span>Moorabbin Area Toy Library is a non-profit organisation serving the Glen Eira &amp; Kingston community since 1987. 

As a community organisation, we are run predominantly by our members and volunteers.

We have over 2,000 toys for loan to meet the ever-changing play needs of babies and young children, including themed party packs &amp; kids&#039; table &amp; chair hire.

Play is an essential element of a child’s early life. Play enables children to interact and learn about themselves and the world around them....</span>

            <p>
                Enjoy play from the start by borrowing from our collection of infant and beginner toys. 
Families can join for a full year membership and receive an additional six months to the membership when you join with your first child before they turn six months old.


N.B. Concession is available when showing a valid approved concession card. See website to learn what more.
Only valid when signing up to 12 month membership.
This does not half the fees, instead increase the membership length to 18 months.
Duty is still six hours over the 18 months or duty levy can be paid if you opt not to complete duty.
This is not refundable or transferrable.
