What is Kelly Kids Care Sports?

Kelly Kids Care offers an after-school sports program that includes:

  • Baseball: Available for grades K-5
  • Soccer: Available for grades 2-5
  • Basketball: Available for grades 2-5

However, this program operates with a 20-1 coach-to-child ratio and combines all students in grades K-5 into a single large group. This can create challenges for effective learning and individualized attention due to the wide range of developmental stages.


The Phoenix Sports Experience

At Phoenix Sports, we prioritize age-appropriate groupings and a much smaller 5-1 coach-to-child ratio. This allows for:

  • Personalized attention and instruction
  • Developmentally-appropriate activities tailored to each group

Our program is led by Coach Doug, a credentialed teacher with Early Childhood Education units and a Master’s in Education, ensuring high-quality instruction for your child.


Phoenix Sports Kids Care Option

(Note: Participation in Kids Care is not required to join Phoenix Sports programs—open to all!)

If your child is enrolled in the Kelly Kids Care after-school program, Phoenix Sports offers a seamless pickup and drop-off service:

  • Check-out: Your coach will sign your child out with the Kids Care staff.
  • Walk to Activities: The coach will escort your child to Laguna Park for their sports activity.
  • Return to Kids Care: After the activity, the coach will walk your child back to Kids Care for later pickup.

You can choose to pick up your child from Kids Care after their session or directly from the park after their Phoenix Sports activity. This ensures a smooth, convenient experience for both you and your child.
