Sportball Saskatchewan South
Youth sport programming for kids with a focus on learning multiple sports in a fun and creative environment.
Description
Sportball’s expert Coaches develop physical literacy not only by encouraging children to refine, rehearse and repeat motor, social and sport skills, but by doing so in a fun, creative, and supportive environment that builds self-confidence – keeping kids in the game for life. Our curriculum is based on the Sportball Developmental Milestones Chart, which breaks down sport, motor and social skills according to developmental capabilities. It guides what we teach and how we connect. What We Teach: Active Play (Ages: 16m-2, 2-3, 3-6) Children are introduced to both structured and unstructured active play, as well as the fundamental movement and social skills that provide the foundation for learning basic sports skills at older ages. Specific Skills (Ages: 6-9, 9-12) We incorporate specific fitness drills, skill combinations and sport-specific game play at ever- increasing levels of intensity so children can continue to refine, rehearse and repeat the fundamental skills associated with sport and play at a more progressive level. Physical Literacy (All Ages!) Even when children are ready for more formalized methods of training, we encourage a continued focus on general motor and social skills development, so kids are prepared for the many different sports challenges they might face in life.
