More than just movement
Soft Play encourages children to explore movement and active play in ways that feel fun, safe and developmentally appropriate. As they climb, balance, swing and explore, children naturally build coordination, confidence and body awareness.
For parents, Soft Play offers a relaxed environment to connect with their child, meet other local families and experience the Skylark Sports community without the structure of a formal class.
Whether you’re already part of our JuniorGym program or visiting for the first time, Soft Play is a simple way to support your child’s early movement development.

Have Questions About Soft Play Classes at Skylark Sports?
What is Soft Play?
Soft Play is free exploration and active play for children aged 0-5, in our gym at Mount Waverley. It’s not a class – there’s no structure and no coach leading it. Children climb, roll, bounce and explore at their own pace while you supervise. A qualified coach is on hand to help and answer questions.
When are the Soft Play sessions, and do I need to book?
No booking needed – just turn up. Sessions run at Mount Waverley only: Monday 1:00-2:30pm, Wednesday 1:00-2:30pm and Thursday 12:00-1:30pm.
What does Soft Play cost?
Free for current JuniorGym members and their preschool-aged siblings, and free for children under 12 months. For non-members aged 1-5, it’s $10 per visit.
How is Soft Play different from JuniorGym?
JuniorGym is a structured, coach-led class with a professionally developed curriculum and progressive skill development. Soft Play is unstructured free play that you supervise. Many families do both – and Soft Play is a relaxed way to see the gym and meet a coach before you enrol.
