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.
