Sports / Active

 

Sportball Junior (16 months – 2 yrs)

Toddlers and parents/caregivers focus on physical movements and social exploration, learn fundamental sport skills, and participate in creative motor games, songs, stories, bubble time and more. Children are challenged according to their individual skill level, and Coaches help grownups understand proven teaching techniques that can be applied outside of Sportball classes.

Sports Combo (1.5-3 yrs)

An introduction to movement and play, this parent and child class helps little ones explore fundamental skills like running, jumping, rolling, throwing, and balancing. Each week features simple, playful activities inspired by intro sports that are all adapted for early learners and supported by their grown up.

Ninja Seedlings (1.5-3 yrs)

For toddlers and their grown-ups to jump, crawl, and sneak through a world of playful ninja-themed adventures—together. Little ones build early balance, coordination, and confidence as they tiptoe across soft “stepping stones,” climb over mini obstacles, and practice simple ninja moves with the comfort and support of a parent right beside them. With imaginative challenges, gentle physical exploration, and lots of giggles, this program helps your tiny ninja develop focus, agility, and body awareness in a safe, encouraging, and connection-filled environment.

Sportball Multi-Sport (2-3 yrs)

Explorers (2-3 yrs)
