Childrens’ Fitness and Fun Services – Surprise, AZ

How Little Champs came to be:

We believe that kids should have a safe and welcoming place to play and explore. Our place has gymnastics, open play, and exploratory play via the Montessori model, pretend play, and sensory play.

Lindsay and Sean Corcoran are the owners of Little Champs. Lindsay was a lifelong gymnast and has had a dream of opening her own center to spread enjoyment to the next generations. She is now a coach and has a Masters in Physical Education and Sport Management and a Bachelors in Exercise Science. Sean is a college football coach and has a Masters in Public Policy. Lindsay and Sean have two daughters and live in Surprise.

After their daughter, Carlin (Gaelic for Little Champion!), received a sensory processing diagnosis, Lindsay began taking her to gymnastics as a fun and therapeutic outlet. Carlin loves gymnastics. However, the majority of gymnastics gyms do not allow for open gym or exploratory play or have rigid class structures; making it very difficult for Carlin to participate appropriately. It became painstaking to find a place that suited their needs. Between Lindsay always wanting her own gym and Carlin needing a place to be able to participate, Little Champs was born.
