Welcome to Athleader Dallas
Athleader-Get up and get moving!
Athleader is excited to be offering our amazing after school program on two new campuses this fall!
Athleader is an outdoor activity and motion based after school program focused on getting kids outside and moving each day. Our amazing program has been serving our East Dallas families since 2017. Coach Russ and Coach Chris are current Woodrow dads and run the Athleader focusing on teamwork, leadership and cooperation.
Having fun everyday by having our kids active and outdoors is the main goal! Athleader’s combination of structured activities and supervised free play promotes physical and social development as well as encourages exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Our Program
Our Athleader program is second to none! We engage your child each day with a healthy dose of outdoor activities and a dedicated staff to help guide them.
