Little Lions Luxembourg offers multisport sessions to children as young as 18 months, inspiring them to move and grow in confidence.
Founded in 2017 by former Luxembourg rugby international Scott Browne, also known for his work with Today Radio, Little Lions Luxembourg offers regular weekly sessions to introduce children to sports and help them to develop their confidence.
The "Sunday sessions" take place in Limpertsberg and can accommodate children from as young as 18 months, with classes split across three age groups: 18 months to 2.5 years; 2.5 to 4 years; and 4 to 6 years. The sessions focus on teaching skills which can be used across a number of sports, including running, catching, throwing and more.
For older children, Little Lions run regular holiday sports camps at Top Squash in Sandweiler, aimed at children aged 3-12. The sessions run during the week in Luxembourg school holidays and cover multiple sports-related activities.
The sessions are taught in English, French, Luxembourgish and German.
Little Lions also offers sports-based birthday parties, both indoors and outdoors. For more information, visit their website.
Supporting sports in schools
Little Lions Luxembourg have partnered with selected schools in Luxembourg to offer sporting activities for children, including cricket sessions, football, rugby and more.
The International School of Luxembourg, St George's International School and Lënster Lycée International School all offer after-school programmes in collaboration with Little Lions.

What inspired Little Lions Luxembourg?
Scott Browne appeared on RTL Today Introduces... way back in 2018 to discuss the concept behind Little Lions Luxembourg. He said he had been inspired by teaching in UK schools and seeing pupils enter secondary school without basic skills such as running, jumping and throwing. The sessions offer children the opportunity to develop those skills from a young age and help them to foster confidence and a passion for active sports.
Early-stage support is crucial for a child's development, and can contribute to a lifelong love for sport. Little Lions also try to encourage sportsmanship and a sense of belonging, finishing each session with the "tunnel" clapping practice unique to rugby, in which teammates applaud each other and coaching staff, as well as officials.
