Playball is an international child development and movement program dedicated to teaching life skills and building self esteem through age appropriate creative sport movement. Since 1982, Playball has introduced boys and girls, ages 2-9, to the foundational skills of a wide variety of sports including, tennis, soccer, baseball, basketball, field hockey and volleyball. This approach has a couple of important advantages: it develops the broadest array of gross & fine motor skills and the variety keeps students fully engaged. Combining this with a creative, energetic, structured atmosphere makes for an educational environment that is also FUN!

The Playball class is a low pressure, positive environment so as to ensure your child’s first exposure to sports is a positive one. Teamwork and good sportsmanship are some of the life skills your child will develop in Playball.

The Playball curriculum is progressive which allows children to improve on skills previously learned. In this way Playball insures your child has a strong foundation on which to build and encourages their motor development progression.

The typical weekly Playball class will be 30 minutes long and consist of a warm up, 5 or 6 skills that can include, kicking, bouncing, batting, catching and throwing, ending with a high energy game.
