Welcome to my Franchise
Welcome to our Franchise
I'm Rachel, I will be running playball classes in new areas across North Dublin, and I'm passionate about giving children in our community the best possible start in life through sport and play.My Story
From my teaching qualification, background managing multiple people and teams in the corporate world and lifelong sports enthusiast (playing hockey and golf!), and working parent, I understand the challenges of finding quality activities that truly benefit our children. In today's screen-filled world, it's harder than ever to ensure our kids are well looked after, genuinely stimulated, and developing the skills they need for life.
That's why I trained with Playball and launched my own franchise right here in North Dublin.
What We Do
Playball is a leading multi-sport programme for children aged 2-6+ years. We don't just teach sports, we develop the whole child across four key areas:
Physical: Coordination, strength, and movement skills
Emotional: Confidence, resilience, and self-regulation
Social: Teamwork, communication, and cooperation
Cognitive: Problem-solving, focus, and decision-making
Our Promise
Your child will be in caring, experienced hands. Every class is purposefully designed, and every child is valued. We're building more than athletes, we're building confident, capable kids ready to take on the world.
