Dublin clubs that have very young juvenile programs?

Are there any Dublin clubs that have programs for very young juveniles?
My eldest is about to turn four, and I'd love for him to get in to the habit of having fun with exercise in a group. The few clubs I've looked at all have minimum ages of 7-8. Obviously it wouldn't be anything competitive, or even that structured, just habit forming before he gets too rebellious

I've certainly seen soccer clubs with sessions for very young kids.

In Bros Pearse AC we have recently started a Little Athletics programme on a Wednesday night. I am not sure if there are any vacancies but I am sure one of the mods will reply about it. It's for age groups under 8 years. We are in the Knocklyon area

Thanks for that PVincent. BP is a little far from us (we're in D15, though I'm willng to travel for this), but "Little Atheltics" is the phrase I needed:

So it looks like Donore, and Celtic DCH both have this program (sponsored by McDonalds???). Will check them out.

Our minimum age (in Bros Pearse) is 'school age' - if they're not old enough to go to Junior Infants they're not old enough for us to coach them. And I think even at that we're taking kids earlier than a lot of clubs would.
