Little League

Sierra Vista has a T-ball little league for kids ages 4-6. You can register for $65 in beginning in February (on active.com) for a season going from March-June. Games are typically two times a week in the evenings and on Saturdays.

Rumor is that this year (2011) is already full! Email sierravistalittleleague@yahoo.com for more info or to place your child on a waiting list.

open gym

Desert Thunder Gymnastics offers a host of gymnastics classes. On Fridays, they have a preschool open gym from 10:50-12:00, where kids can have free reign of equipment and toys. $7/kid. Or, you can sign up for a class.

From the website:

Tiny Tumblers:

This class is designed for the confidant walker to age 3. We incorporate a blend of music, games, gymnastics and the use of small motor equipment such as ribbons, hoops, balls and balloons. Adult interaction is taught with stretching games and use of the equipment. This class is designed to keep the focus on fun while teaching very basic gymnastics skills. This class requires a parent or guardian in class with the child.

30 minutes.

Tumble Tots:

This class is designed for children ages 3-4. Music, games, and small motor equipment play an integral part in this class as well. However, this is a more skill oriented class than the Tiny Tumblers class, with an emphasis on teaching the preschool gymnastics skills. Parents do not attend this class and children must be able to stay with the group without a parent's help before moving into this class.

45 minutes

kindermusic

My girls (18 mo. & 3.5) loved this! Kindermusic is taught by a woman named Francie (of Francie's Piano Lessons: "offering instruction in piano, flute, recorder, guitar, voice, and kindermusic").

Kids ages 18 mo to about 5yrs learn fun songs that incorporate things like movement, colors, shapes, drums, xylophones, puppets, etc. Francie is incredibly creative and engaging.

$50/session(8 45min classes, spread over 2 months)/child

swimming lessons

Far and away, my favorite thing about Sierra Vista is Karen Eaton. Ok, she's a person, not a thing, but still. She's my favorite.

Karen's Aquatics is a small swimming school, open from May through September. You can pick up a registration form on the front door of 5004 Calle Cumbre (off of Snyder). Or call 520.458.7214 for fees and schedules.

$75/session (10 classes) may seem steep compared to the Cove's $35/session (8 classes), but Karen's is basically the equivalent of private swim lessons. She's a fantastic teacher, who taught my daughter to swim (arms, legs, breathe under water, jump into the pool, back float) by age 3! Here's a video of her first summer swimming. You know, so I can brag:
