Coach Allison and Coach Dee did such a wonderful job for our daughter's 6th birthday party. The coaches had great energy and the kids had an amazing time. The kids were so excited for every game and activity the coaches were playing. I was so impressed with how creative the coaches were with integrating the party's theme (Trolls movie) with the games and activities. Our daughter loves the Trolls so this made the party extra special. We mainly invited 5-6 year olds from my daughter's class and some younger siblings joined the party. The coaches had no problem interacting with the older kids along with including the younger kids. I also loved the flexibility of choosing any location for the party. We had the party at a local park and the Playball coaches brought all the necessary equipment for the games and activities. If you plan to throw a party with a lot of kids and need some help with entertainment and activities, Playball is a wonderful option. I really could not have hoped for a more successful celebration. read more

Excellent skills being taught by Elvis, one of the teachers there. I highly recommend you try this for your little ones. They will benefit so much from learning not only physical skills but social skills as well. Nancy the owner of play ball is doing an amazing job. read more

Heather was amazing to work with for my son's 6th birthday party. She was collaborative and flexible to identify the perfect games for my sports-loving son and his friends. She has all the supplies for fun games and will come to your location. My son had the best time and so many kids and parents said the party and especially the games were wonderful. It all went exactly as I had hoped! Heather was so enthusiastic and fun with the kids and made my son feel very special. It was a pleasure to work with Playball and I will be passing on their info to the other parents who were all interested. read more

"Playball is the leading sport and movement development program in South Africa. It's been developed over the course of 20 years and is internationally recognized." My three year old daughter has been regularly attending a "Playball" class run by a wonderful young woman, Amy Sacks. My daughter adores her "Coach Amy" and has really bloomed in this wonderful class. Playball was developed by a man in South Africa. He has franchised his sports and movement program throughout the United States. His concept (which is wonderfully executed by Coach Amy) is to use sports as a vehicle to teach social, emotional and cognitive skills to children between the ages of 2-9 years old. Our gym, The Pacific Athletic Club, has hired Coach Amy to teach "Playball" at their facility. The Playball classes are wonderful, creatively run and so much fun for the children and the parents. The younger kids have a class 45 minutes in length, older ones have classes that run a full hour. Classes are small, fast moving and full of imaginative games and fun. Coach Amy is a very personable and charismatic young woman. She has her teaching credential and a Masters degree in Childhood Education. Not only are the kids moving, dancing, jumping and running around for a good share of the class...they are learning and practicing valuable attitudes about sportsmanship, about not complaining or whining, about not using the excuse "I can't"...about never giving up. There are many points during class when the kids are having so much fun that they double over in laughter. I kid you not...this woman delivers lessons about attitude and good sportsmanship...that carry on after the class is over for the day. Coach Amy is a delight. She keeps the class moving...at a pace which works for the kids. She engages every single child in the class, encourages them and behaves as though she's delivering her message for the very first time. She keeps things fresh and alive in her classes! They pitch these valuable classes to schools, recreation centers and sports centers. They also conduct "summer camps" and Playball birthday parties. This is a wonderful program led by a very exceptional, upbeat and creative young woman! read more

My daughter has done Camp Playball the last two summers and absolutely LOVES it! This summer, my son who is now potty trained, was able to join, too! He loved it as well! The coaches are so enthusiastic, positive, helpful and compassionate. Not only do they do a bunch of team sports/games, they also do arts and crafts, too. Safety was never a concern for me. They are so vigilant and keep incredibly close eyes on all the kiddos. It also helps that all the kiddos are wearing their "Camp Playball" shirts so you can easily see all the kids. I also especially liked them washing their hands or using hand sanitizer before the children ate snack and lunch. This helped them to stay healthy for the whole week. I highly highly recommend this camp and Heather and her team. They are wonderful! read more

We just finished our first camp with camp Playball and we were very pleased! My son (3 1/2) is quite a handful and they were able to work with him and keep him happy and excited to come back each day. We'd love to sign him up with other programs they offer! The program was very well organized and affordable! read more

My daughter (3) and her best friend had a great time participating in Playball summer camp, 5 half-days. Every day when I'd pick her up the kids were all buzzing with laughter and excitement. They even have little art projects every day. The staff was great and engaging. I will definitely be enrolling her in the Playball activities again. read more

We joined last winter camp, and my son loved Playball so much, so I registered for summer camp already. From time to time I was able to watch their program when I was early to pick up my son, all I hear was a group giggle! what a wonderful sound! My son has a very fond memories of Playball and we're looking forward to going back this summer! Great program! read more

Both of my boys went to Camp Playball last summer and they had such a great time they also went over winter break! I loved that they broke the kids up into smaller groups and worked on all sorts of fun sports skills. The boys were always excited to show me the craft they made or show me a new game they learned. It was so nice to use up that energy at camp in the morning!! Coach Heather, Leah, and Felipe all had wonderful energy and were great with the kids. Highly recommend!! read more

My son, age 4, attended Playball Camp over winter break. He loved it. Each morning he was excited to go to camp, and each afternoon at pickup, he told me what a fun time he had that day. Today was his first day pack at full-time preschool. He asked if he could go to camp today instead! I will sign him up again if we have another opportunity. read more

We LOVED our time with this group... Can't wait to do it again! Thanks to all the coaches for being SO fun, capable and proffessional!

My two sons, 4 and 6, just completed a week of morning camp with Playball. The experience definitely surpassed my expectations. The coaches (Lauren, Liya and Heather) were fantastic: kind, enthusiastic and dedicated. The first day, one of the coaches even checked in with me about my son's eating habits as he hadn't eaten much lunch, so clearly they are paying attention. It is obvious to me that in addition to sports skills, they are teaching emotional intelligence skills and life skills. The boys enjoyed the crafts they did and the games they played. I highly recommend this program. read more

Our kids have been going to playball since early preschool both at preschool after-school clubs and camps. My daughter who is not big on sports (we've tried her in soccer) LOVES playball and we never hesitate to sign her up for Playball preschool classes / camps etc. The camps are great as they do other activities like sport-themed arts and crafts. The communication is responsive, thorough, and coach Heather does an amazing job organizing, leading and coaching. read more

We have two kids and they have practiced Playball as part of their preschool activities. I love the program. The kids get a good exercise. We love their camps and birthday parties too. I would really recommend it. read more

I highly recommend play ball for children and parents. Its such a blessing as a parent to see your kids get involved in activities that you simply can not create on your own. They have so much fun and get to interact with all sorts of different children. They have fun while being equipped for their future interest. As a parent you can sit back and get a little insight into what it is they will most likely excel in as far as sports. Play ball covers just about every sport you can think of! My son is high energy with a strong will. They have been so patient, kind and know just how to direct the children so that they excel. We have been apart of the program for about a year. The coaches are equipped beyond just providing physical activities for the kids, they actually enjoy what they do and do it vey well. Thank you play ball. read more

Thank you for ALL your hard work and ALL the fun and awesome learning you provide our kids! read more

Coach Heather and her team have been frequent enrichment providers at my son's preschool as part of their weekly classes, as an afterschool event AND as intersession "camp" open to all area children. Their programs are loved by every child and parents that I have seen - daily physical exercise, fair play, sportsmanship, variety, coordination, excitement... positive positive positive from the get go! For the camps heather had craft activities every day and my son was proud to wear his playball tee shirt, drink from his playball water bottle, fly his kite, and show me his photo cube documenting all his week's activities. If you want a fun activity for your child, Camp Playball comes HIGHLY recommended! read more
