From a parent:
"I would like to thank you for doing an amazing work with my son. He has only attended a few sessions and we can already see some change in him. He has started to like the outdoors and he keeps on telling us various little tricks for different games. As parents we are really happy with the confidence he is gaining by joining Playball sessions on Thursdays'
