Fastbreak Kids

Fastbreak Kids is a multisport program that introduces children from nine months through five years old to sports and movement in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. Our classes are led by coaches with early-childhood education experience and a genuine love for both sports and children.

The program is directed by Mariely Beato and Ayah Harfouch — a duo that has transformed the department into one of the finest early-childhood programs in NYC. They are supported by department leaders Luis Rodriguez, Waldy Pichardo, Manuel Gonzalez, Brandon Carrillo, and Emmanuel Rodriguez, who bring enthusiasm, experience, and a child-first approach to every class.

Our youngest athletes begin with Baby Ballers, an introduction to movement and music designed to support important milestones such as crawling, walking, running, and skipping. Our Twos program incorporates parallel play, letting children participate alongside one another while beginning to socialize and explore sports together. From ages three through five, children are introduced to multiple sports, giving them opportunities to discover what they enjoy most before progressing into basketball, football, cheer, or other programs around age six.

Each class follows a thoughtful, age-appropriate curriculum using creative play, station-based learning, sensory activities, and one- to three-step instruction. Through this approach, children develop motor skills, coordination, listening skills, teamwork, and confidence while building a lasting love for sports.

Fastbreak Kids supports the whole child — socially, emotionally, physically, and mentally. In addition to helping young athletes reach important movement milestones, our programs prepare children for school by introducing them to structured group environments, new friendships, and positive interactions with coaches and classmates.

Above all, Fastbreak Kids creates a welcoming place where children can play, explore, grow, and develop the confidence to take their next step — both in sports and in life.
