Along with the obvious physical development benefits, we are setting the scene for developing independence and other life skills. All parents are invited to enjoy watching the class from a distance to keep distractions to a minimum during the sessions. Young children do best in class if they can focus on just their teacher and their classmates. If your child needs to be made secure for the first couple of lessons, please stand behind them, encourage them to get involved, but do step away as soon as possible.

Yes, but siblings must be kept clear from the playing area, do not disrupt the session or play with any of the equipment, unless offered by the coach.

For all ages, it is normal for a child to attend several classes before feeling comfortable in class. Don't be discouraged - your child is adjusting to a new environment and, for some of them, a completely new experience with a new teacher and new friends. Our primary concern is that you allow the teacher to initiate and maintain a Playball relationship with your child. Remember that all children learn at different paces. While it may seem as if your child is not "getting into the class" at first, you'd be surprised at what they are actually learning. Let your child have the time he/she needs to adjust, adapt, and absorb the class environment. Please distance yourself as soon as possible to allow the teacher to take control of the group.

Playball believes that children learn best when presented with learning objectives that are designed with the age of the child in mind. This is the best way for a child to gain confidence and self-esteem. Each curriculum level is designed by child development professionals to best suit the physical milestone stages and goals of the age range they address. Please accept our professional judgment when placing a child in a particular class.
