What do parents have to say about Playball?

Small size & Age appropriate classes

Our classes are small which allows us to focus on each individual child.

The maximum number of children per class is 8. This ensures maximum learning for each child.

Each program is focused on one age group and covers an extensive range of sport related skills that are pitched at the correct developmental level and is constantly reviewed to ensure your child develops at the right pace, physically, mentally and socially, in a fun, safe and structured environment.

Gets children ready for school

Most of the skills that we teach develop the child’s understanding of space, balance and movement.
The base of all learning begins with movement? Children learn 1, 2, 3 before A, B, C because it is associated with movement such as learning to walk.

Children must develop their gross motor skills first before any other learning takes place.

It is necessary for school readiness
It is necessary for sport participation
It is necessary for the development of all your child’s’ life skills

And last but not least…….
• Movement is a very important component of a child’s overall academic development!

A curriculum based program that has been scientifically researched

Playball is a scientifically and educationally sound curriculum. The success of the Playball programme is the result of many years of research and development.

The Playball team created the Playball sports programme by researching the developmental needs of the 2-8year olds through consultation with child development professionals.

The Playball classes curriculum is maintained by a consortium of professionals compromising teachers, physical therapists, sports coaches, occupational therapists and sports scientists to bring you the most current and appropriate sports programme for your child.

Life Skills

Playball classes are packed with sports skills and through these we also coach life skills.

From as young as 2yrs old, children are encouraged to gain independence by leaving their care giver. This in turn creates an environment where they build their confidence and learn to play as a team. Discipline forms a large part of what we do, as does the ability to concentrate and listen in a class environment. All this whilst having fun too!
