Sportball is an educationally based sports curriculum that allows children to explore and learn the skills of eight popular sports: soccer, baseball, football, basketball, volleyball, hockey, golf, and tennis. Using creative instruction and positive encouragement, our programs focus on the development of gross motor skills along with balance, strength, coordination, stamina, and timing. The equipment that we use is age appropriate and sized just right for the children in our programs.

At Sportball your child will improve his or her kicking, footwork, throwing, catching, batting, dribbling, and scoring skills. Our goal is boost your child's confidence and to instill a lifelong love of sports and athletics.

In addition to classes, Sportball offers summer, holiday, and spring break camps for ages 3 to 8. Birthday parties can be arranged to fit into your schedule.

  • Parent & Child Multi-Sport  (ages 18 months to 2 yrs)

Encourage your little one to explore eight sports in a safe, structured environment. Sportball coaches demonstrate and teach basic sports motor skills, allowing each parent/child pair to practice and rehearse together. Each class focuses on the skills of a different sport along with other fun games to build coordination, timing, and balance.

  • Multi-sport (ages 2 to 6yrs)

Kids practice the basic skills behind eight popular sports. Each week focuses on the skills of a different sport, building up to scrimmage and game strategy as kids get older.

  • Ultimate Sports (5-8yrs)

The rules of soccer, basketball and soccer can be very confusing for children at this age. Our coaches help your child understand the game by using step-by-step instruction, lots of repetition, and encouraging drills. Each class focuses on skill development and game play, gradually teaching the rules of the sport.
