Sportball T-Ball and Soccer

Presented by Sportball. T-Ball and Soccer classes keep children moving and engaged and send them home with new skills each class. Our play-based approach uses creative coaching techniques to captivate imaginations and reduce performance anxiety. Soccer balls are rocket ships that children can launch into outer space with their kicks and pylons are volcanos that must be avoided by controlling the path of the ball. Or, children imagine that beanbags are pizzas and the targets, animal houses. They deliver pizza to the different animals by hitting the targets. No class April 15, 17, May 20 or 22.
