PLAYBALL

The WATCH ME PLAY program at Playball recognises and develops the growing skill set of your 3 and 4 year old.

Our focus here is on participation within a group, and teaching children in a friendly, caring and supportive environment through carefully structured lessons.

In this program your child is introduced to the values that relate to boundaries, listening to instructions and working within the constraints of a group. Sharing and waiting their turn, are just some of the many very important life values that are introduced.

One of the goals of this program is to introduce your child to sport skills in a “sports class”. Obviously age-appropriate. 

We develop their visual skills (seeing what to do) and auditory skills (hearing what to do) and gross motor skills (doing what needs to be done).

The main emphasis of our 3s program is:

• Each child achieving a measure of competence in the“ foundation” of the various manipulation and ball skills in all the popular sports
• Development of children’s confidence and enjoyment of sport
• Social integration with other children
• Introduction of concentration and listening skills
• Supporting you in nurturing an active and happy lifestyle for your child, at a crucial time in his/her earlier life

The Venue -
Whitley Bay High School has plenty of bike parking facilities for visitors to use with their own bike locks. Parking is available onsite for visitors, however this is limited and there are times when the carparks will be very busy.

Accessible parking is available, with allocated bays near to main reception.

Our classes are situated in the studios and will be signposted on the morning. Please follow our socials @playballnewcastle for more information in the FAQs including a video on how to find us!

What to expect -
Your 45-minute Playball session will be packed with fun, movement and age-appropriate activities designed to help your child build skills, grow in confidence and develop a lifelong love of being active.

There's no need to worry if your little one is nervous at first. Every child is different, and our coaches are there to help them settle in, have fun and participate at their own pace.
