Welcome to my Franchise
Welcome to our Franchise
Welcome to our Playball Belfast family where children are motivated to want to play, be active, and learn essential fundamental skills for all sports. We are a multi-sport programme that encourages all-round development through structured sports play sessions in groups of up to 8 (6 for age 2-3 year olds). Helping children find their feet on the sports field is just one small part of what we do at Playball. Our primary concern is developing the whole child cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically, so that they feel confident to try new things, become more independent (leaving mum (Icando) or the caregiver) and enjoy social time with new friends in a teacher-led environment. Our coaches are motivated and are experts in their field, working with young children and delivering excellent high-quality Playball classes.We provide, classes, camps, parties, after-school classes and curriculum classes.

I have been a PE teacher for the last 24 years and have been coaching sports since I was 15! Why Playball? Having witnessed first-hand the increasing levels of low self-esteem, and decreasing levels of physical fitness amongst our children and teenagers, I want to do something to make a change. I am very excited to help young children develop the skills which will allow them to develop fundamental movement skills, increasing their self-confidence and preparing them for PE and sporting activities in the future. |
