If you’re a parent of a preschooler or kindergartener, you’ve probably wondered: What’s the best activity for my child after school or on weekends? Parents today are looking for fun, safe, and structured programs where their children can burn energy, make friends, and start building healthy habits early.

That’s why R3 Athlete Performance in Holtsville, NY created the Little Sluggers Program — designed specifically for kids ages 3–6 years old who are ready to play, learn, and have fun.


Why Choose Sports for Kids Ages 3–6?

At this age, kids are like sponges. They’re learning balance, coordination, teamwork, and listening skills that will set the stage for everything they do later in life. While too much screen time can make kids restless and unfocused, programs like Little Sluggers keep them active and engaged.

Benefits of sports for young kids include:

  • Motor skill development – running, jumping, throwing, catching.

  • Social skills – sharing, teamwork, listening to coaches.

  • Confidence – learning new skills and celebrating small wins.

  • Healthy routines – making activity a normal part of their day.


What Is the Little Sluggers Program?

Little Sluggers is an introductory baseball and softball program designed for preschoolers and early elementary children. It’s not about competition — it’s about creating a positive, fun environment where kids can:

  • Learn the basics of hitting, throwing, and catching.

  • Play age-appropriate games that build coordination.

  • Gain confidence while moving their bodies.

  • Build friendships with other kids their age.

Every session is led by coaches who understand how to keep young athletes engaged, safe, and smiling.
