Sportball Multi-Sport skills development programs introduce preschool and primary school children to the concepts and skills involved in the core sports of the Sportball methodology. Classes are conducted once a week in one-hour sessions, using developmentally appropriate methods to introduce, practice, and refine gross motor skills. The programs reinforce the benefits of teamwork and skills development rather than the importance of winning, which enables children to gain confidence and develop the social skills necessary to succeed in sport and life. This class is appropriate for all levels!

Focusing on storytelling, imagination and play this class will teach ballet basics with an emphasis on fun and creativity. Technique, play, performance and expression mingle together perfectly to create a positive and energetic learning environment. Please dress in something you can move in. Tutu’s and ballet slippers are not required (they are more than welcome) but please no socks.
Parent & Child programs teach children important introductory physical skills and help them develop confidence in their abilities. The program also helps adults understand proven teaching techniques that can be applied outside of Sportball classes. Classes focus on refining, rehearsing, and repeating skills and playing games in a fun, creative, and non‐competitive environment. Classes are conducted once a week in 45‐minute sessions – just the right length of time for active little minds and bodies. This class is appropriate for all levels!
