Sportball is a unique non-competitive sports program for young children between the ages of 16 months to 8 yrs that recognizes the importance of developing fundamental movement skills in the early years. Programs are carefully designed and focus on improving gross motor skills, physical strength, social skills and self-esteem. Through creative instruction, customized sports equipment and positive encouragement, children have the opportunity to learn and participate in sport in a fun and exciting environment

Sportball programs focus on 7 popular ball sports: Hockey, Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Tennis and Golf. Children are taught the fundamental skills of each sport and have the opportunity to practice and refine these skills individually and in game situations. Creative games and activities are also integrated into classes, which allow children to interact with peers while learning skills essential for sport.
