About Get Set Go Kids

At Get Set Go Kids, we understand how important the early years are in a child’s journey with movement, play and sport.

These early experiences shape how children feel about being active — not just now, but for years to come. That’s why we believe it’s essential to meet children where they are, creating programmes and environments designed specifically for their stage of development.

At this age, it’s less about the sport itself and more about creating the right environment — one that builds the foundations children need to access sport confidently as they grow. Young children aren’t mini-adults, and their introduction to movement and sport should reflect that.

With over 25 years of experience in teaching, coaching and child development, we’ve seen how often children are rushed or placed into environments that simply aren’t right for them. Our approach focuses on getting the foundations right first: building confidence, developing strong movement skills and, most importantly, making movement and sport fun from the very beginning.

We provide fun, inclusive kids sports programmes in Dubai, designed to build strong foundations for a lifetime of physical activity.

Why We Do What We Do

Today, young children are moving less than ever before. With more screen time, fewer opportunities for free play and increasing pressure to perform early, too many children are missing out on the positive movement experiences they need in their early years.

At Get Set Go Kids, our mission is simple: to help more children move more – with confidence, enjoyment and purpose.

We believe that strong movement skills and positive early experiences are the key to helping children feel motivated to play, explore and stay active. When children feel confident in how they move, they’re far more likely to enjoy sport and physical activity as they grow.

Too often, children are introduced to sport too early, too seriously, or without the right foundations. Starting earlier doesn’t get them there any faster – it can actually have the opposite effect. Many children stop playing when they stop having fun, while others drop out through a lack of confidence or shyness and are quickly labelled as “not sporty”.

Get Set Go Kids was created to do things differently.

Every programme we deliver is designed around your child – their age, their stage of development and their individual needs. We focus on creating a supportive environment that gives children the skills, confidence and motivation they need, providing the perfect launch pad into organised sport when they are ready.

Our unique multi-sports approach helps children build a broad base of movement skills, explore different activities and, over time, find their game – giving them the head start in sport and physical activity that every child deserves.

A Clear Pathway as Your Child Grows

The Get Set Go Kids Pathway is designed to support your child at every stage of their early movement and sports journey – giving them exactly what they need, at the right time.

– Get Into Sport (3-4 years)
A gentle introduction to multiple sports, developing fundamental movement and gross motor skills while bridging the gap between toddler classes and structured sports clubs.

– Mini Sports Clubs (5-6 years)
Sport-specific sessions that focus on skill development, teamwork and simple game understanding — delivered in a positive, confidence-building environment.

– After-School Clubs
Multi-sports clubs delivered at partner schools and nurseries, helping children stay active, engaged and smiling while continuing to build strong foundations for sport.

Together, the Get Set Go Kids Pathway prepares your child for school, sport and a lifetime of confident movement.

Our Approach

We take a child-centred approach to everything we do at Get Set Go Kids. Every session is thoughtfully designed to meet children where they are, supporting their development while making movement fun.

Our sessions are:

– Age-appropriate and developmentally informed
Activities are carefully matched to each child’s stage of development, not just their age.

– Inclusive and welcoming
Every child is supported, encouraged and celebrated, whatever their confidence, ability or experience.

– Focused on confidence, fundamentals and fun
We prioritise how children feel about movement, helping them build strong foundations through positive experiences.

– Led by experienced, engaging coaches
Our coaches understand young children and know how to create safe, supportive and inspiring environments.

Our coaches play a vital role in bringing our approach to life. They are trained to:

– Connect
Build trust, engage children and create positive, nurturing environments where children feel safe to try.

– Inspire
Deliver fun, engaging sessions that motivate every child and gently challenge them at the right level.

– Develop
Use imaginative games, storytelling and play to develop movement skills and confidence.

Together, this approach ensures every session is active, inclusive, purposeful, challenging and fun, helping children grow in confidence and capability over time.

Our Experience

Get Set Go Kids was founded by Tommy Wingrove, a qualified PE teacher and coach with a background in sports science and many years of experience working with young children. Inspired by both his professional journey and becoming a parent himself, Tommy set out to create something that was missing in Dubai – a child-centred approach to sport designed specifically for the early years.

Rather than trying to adapt existing programmes designed for older-children, Get Set Go Kids was built from the ground up to meet pre-school children where they are, offering the best possible introduction to movement, play and sport.

Today, we work with nurseries, schools and families across Dubai to deliver quality kids sports programmes, supporting hundreds of children each week as they build their confidence and develop strong movement foundations for sport.
