Varsity Heights is the new virtual world for children who are sports fans, allowing them to kick balls, score touchdowns, and shoot pucks all in the comfort of their bedroom.
Founded by Caryn Burns and Cindy Prince, two moms with a passion for sports, fitness and their children, AllStarBuddies.com is a safe, virtual “playground” for kids (ages 6+) where a healthy, positive lifestyle is reinforced through fun games, quests and social interaction.
Using individual and multi-player games, children learn about problem-solving, goal setting, good sportsmanship, teamwork, fitness, good nutrition and environmental awareness – all while having a fun online experience that will keep them coming back for many “extra innings.”
Sports also set the stage for fun competitions, games, activities and adventures,” said Caryn Burns, Co-Founder. “But most importantly, the fun doesn’t stop when a child logs off the site. It is our hope that kids will pick up a football or a tennis racket after signing off of AllStarBuddies.com and continue the action outdoors with a parent or friend.”

To go along with the virtual fun, All Star Buddies also sells the seven plush characters found in the virtual world. Each one comes with a special code which unlocks fun games and bonuses in Varsity Heights.
Your child can choose from:
- Chip, the brainy buddy who loves to play golf and enjoys exploring plants and insects.
- Ace, the friendly buddy who loves baseball and astronomy.
- Deuce, who likes tennis and can teach your child about his other hobby, learning about the ocean.
- Deke, who has fun playing hockey as well as science, specifically learning about liquids, solids and gasses.
- Swish, the basketball and dinosaur loving buddy.
- Blitz, the strong football playing buddy who knows the importance of eating right and exercising.
- Striker, who travels a lot as the soccer playing buddy and loves learning about other languages and cultures.
In Varsity Heights, each character not only plays games associated with their sport, they also teach your child about math, health, science and humanities.
You and your child can head on over to Varsity Heights right now to begin your membership for some educational fun.
We also have one plush buddy to give away to one lucky winner, that will allow your child a chance to unlock some extra fun.
We would also like to thank All Star Buddies for their generous donation of a plush buddy for our Under The Tree Program..
Here’s how to enter to win an All Star Buddy, retail value $19.00.

We’re big sports fans over here. Basketball is probably my fave. My son’s not picky though. Anything with a ball is good enough for him. I’d been hoping to keep him away from football since it’s not really my thing, but our neighbors are huge football fans, so now my son is too.

My son and I have been looking at these. They are so neat. I am planning on getting him one for Christmas, probably Ace.
Ace, the friendly buddy is my pick
so cute, please enter me thanks
Looks like fun! THanks
I hope this works this time – I am so not computer savvy
The Plush Buddies “Ace” is so appropriate for 2 of the MEN in my life – my husband (73) plays softball and Ace would be great for his Christmas stocking. And then, our grandson – who just turned 7 is going to be playing Little League this year and also, we just gave him a telescope for his birthday, so the baseball and astronomy theme fits him to a “T”!
