Enjoy-a-Ball?
Sport plays a vital role in a child's life
Kids who enjoy sports and exercise tend to stay active throughout their lives. Staying fit can help a person maintain a healthy weight and decrease the risk of serious illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease. Kids who are physically fit also sleep better and are better able to handle the physical and emotional challenges that a typical day presents. 1
Competence in sport enhances physical development and gives a child confidence,
a feeling of self-esteem and the ability to communicate. Sport also complements
study and provides a healthy and balanced approach to work and play.
We think our programme is special:
-
Enjoy-a-Ball children enjoy their classes so much, they generally stay with us for several years.
-
There are never more than 12 children in a class. Small class sizes means that your child gets as much individual attention as possible.
-
We nurture life skills such as positive attitudes and self-esteem and we will carefully develop your child's concentration, confidence and social skills in a caring, sociable and fun environment.
-
To recognise and reward good sportsmanship, good manners, perseverance and courage, we award a floating trophy at the end of every lesson. Every child in the class will win it, so get that camera ready to capture the look of pride in your child's eyes when it's their turn.
-
We make every effort to ensure that the children we coach feel special. It is the little things that count such as sending birthday cards and giving out certificates and reports as well as high-fives.
Change a child's life - make a positive and meaningful difference
