SOGO Squirts (Ages 2-5)

Getting Little Athletes Going

Your little ones will gain the skills to move competently and confidently through a range of environments under the mindful guidance of our coaching team.
Two and three year old SOGO Squirts is a parented experience, you’ll be joining your preschoolers as they walk/jog/run on and off paths and participate in a range of games that encourage a life-long interest in physical activity.
Four and five year old SOGO Squirts is a un-parented experience, they’ll be escorted through the courses by one of our expert coaches and volunteers.
A few notes
  • Preschoolers will graduate from SOGO Squirts when they are 5 if they have done a season of SOGO or when they turn 6 and are ready to move competently to SOGO Level 1.
  • Ages are calculated on the first day of the program.  
  • Wee siblings are welcome in parented programs, however they must be accompanied at all times and parents need to have hands free to provide participating preschoolers with assistance.

Group moves as a class from the first location to the second location so kids get a chance to run through different terrain.  For meeting locations click on the links above. For more information, please contact our Squirts Head Coach at [email protected]
​SOGO Squirts Access is a branch of our Access program that enables children with any learning and/or physical disabilities to get outside with SOGO. This program is designed for children ages 2-5 and focuses on inclusion through two streams of SOGO Squirts programs. You have the option of registering your child with any of our regular sessions (see below) or through our specialized program on Friday afternoons at 1. If you choose to register for our regular sessions, you will have access to extra support (such as an aide) for your child if they need it. The specialized program on Friday is a smaller group and is designed for kids who will succeed in a quieter environment than our other weekday sessions. Our program focuses on exploring nature and playing in a safe environment while ensuring that #EveryKidCanGetOutside. We're looking forward to welcoming you and your family into SOGO!

$135 Per Season
