About us
Welcome to LILFUN SPORTS, a multi-sport programme designed for children aged 3+, giving them the opportunity to explore, experience, and enjoy a wide variety of sports and movement activities.
Our aim is to guide children in building strong foundations through movement, play, and regular practice. By introducing different sports throughout the programme, children develop fundamental movement and sports skills, build confidence, and discover the activities and sports they enjoy most.
We believe children learn best when they are active, engaged, and having fun. Sessions include age-appropriate activities, games, and challenges, with activities adapted and differentiated according to age and ability. Children are encouraged to explore, practise, learn, and progress at their own pace. The more they practise and experience different sports, the more confident and adaptable they become, building skills that can support them across different sports and physical activities.
Alongside physical development, we place a strong focus on teamwork, communication, decision-making, independence, and social interaction, developing valuable skills that go beyond sport.
Most importantly, we want children to enjoy being active. Through positive sporting experiences from a young age, we aim to guide them towards a healthy, active, and sporty lifestyle, while giving them the opportunity to discover sports they may wish to pursue further as they grow.
Our passionate coaching team is there to guide, encourage, and support children throughout their experience, creating a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment where they can move, learn, explore, and have fun.

Alishia Cassar
Founder & Head Coach
I hold a degree in Exercise, Sports, and Health, as well as a Master’s in Physical Education. My educational background has fueled a lifelong passion for teaching and inspiring others through movement. I currently work full-time as a physical educator in primary schools, where I teach a variety of sports and fundamental movement skills. Over the years, I have worked with both primary and secondary students, coaching multiple sports and supporting children of all abilities. This experience has allowed me to help young people discover their strengths, improve their skills, and achieve personal success both on and off the field.
My own sporting journey began at a young age, training in a range of disciplines before focusing on gymnastics and football. I trained in gymnastics for several years before dedicating myself to football, where I went on to represent the women’s national team for an incredible 17 years. These experiences not only shaped me as an athlete but also taught me valuable life lessons in determination, time management, sportsmanship, and self-discipline.
Inspired by the impact sport had on my own life, I created this program to give children the same opportunities, to explore new activities, grow in confidence, and develop valuable skills in a safe and supportive environment. I believe that starting young and feeling encouraged to try different sports can inspire a lifelong love of physical activity, and sometimes even lead to a future career in sport.
Through my work, I aim to ensure every child feels empowered to move, have fun, and discover what they are truly capable of—whether it’s learning a new skill, building teamwork, or simply finding joy in being active.

Head Coach
Hi, This is Nicole! I’m 24 years old and have been involved in sports education for over 8 years. Today, I’m a qualified Physical Education teacher with a big passion for helping children discover the joy of movement.
Sports have always been part of my life, I played football with a local team and even represented Malta against national sides like Estonia, Slovenia, Austria, and more. Those experiences taught me discipline, teamwork, and resilience, values I now pass on to the young people I work with.
“It is not enough to love children; they must know that they are loved.” For me, sports are the perfect way to show that to focus on building confidence, skills, and lifelong healthy habits.
