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.

What Makes Playball Special
Children thrive in our fun filled, high quality sport lessons. Creating a learning environment, which boosts confidence and self-esteem, is paramount.
The children will be coached to engage confidently in a wide range of sport skills, preparing them for years of positive, competent sports participation.

Our Classes
The Playball program follows a holistic approach and offers learning opportunities and experiences relating to the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development of the child. Playball takes advantage of developmental windows of opportunity by providing a wide range of suitable movement skills and physical activities in a safe and secure environment - perfect for optimal learning!
At Playball, we help children develop fundamental building blocks of sport, agility balance and coordination, as well as the three key elements of physical fitness - endurance, strength and flexibility.
