Parents get Involved!
Life is about many things, but the most important is good health and happiness! The best way to go about achieving this is to get involved in Sports as early as possible! Being active, gives one energy, fills ones lungs with fresh air and consequently ones head.
What I am most passionate about, as a Mother of three wonderful children, is that they get involved in Sports as soon as possible. Sports not only offer well being but open ones horizons to so many out and indoor activities, where you learn not only the precious skills of the sport you are participating in, but also teamwork, give and take, working all together towards the same goal and finding the best ways to achieve it together. Once one experiences that feeling, the sense of well being, even if one loses sometimes, it gives one the incentive to try harder the next time, just like the ladder of life, not every step is easy, but we certainly can strive to do our best.
In today's world, where the young come into contact with so many distractions and temptations, belonging to a team that offers friendship, something to do when the boredom clicks in and teaches one so much along the way, I believe it is an essential tool to keeping on the right track.
My three children (3, 8 and 21 years old) enjoy their sports, be it football, soccer, basketball, all have given them wonderful memories and have helped them make many friends along the way. Sport is a passport to the world and is the number one activity one should get ones children involved in.
Sportball Mom,

We are Having Fun! On s’amuse!
Sportball offers many great things to any youngster who attends the sessions. It`s a wonderful way to improve motor skills that can be used for the rest of their lives The classes are also super fun and a cool, original method of exercising and burning off some whacky energy. Many kids also develop social bonds with others and make friends in the process!
Since Sportball coaches conduct sessions in both English and French, participants also have the chance to learn another language while they are enjoying themselves. And children are like sponges. Instructions and comments made by the coach are repeated in both languages and the kids are asked to respond in both.
Interaction between kids from different backgrounds can help develop your child into a better rounded individual. Don`t you think having the ability to speak more than one language is important? Children have so much to gain from Sportball sessions.
We would love for you to leave some comments below!

Destination dynamique!
Sportball est une organisation qui mise sur l’apprentissage des jeunes et qui vise à développer leur fonction motrice. Ils utilisent différents types de balles pour faire participer les enfants dans des activités sociales non compétitives pour qu’ils puissent faire de l’exercice tout en s’amusant. N’est ce pas ce que vous rechercheriez pour vos enfants? Certains cours impliquent aussi les parents, leur permettant de passer du bon temps avec leur enfant. Sportball a aussi des cours pour aider les enfants avec des déficiences à apprendre à mieux fonctionner dans leur vie de tous les jours.
Axé sur le développement des habiletés, le dynamisme et le plaisir, que demander de plus?
Vos enfants font-ils suffisamment d’exercice?
Êtes-vous inquiets parce que vos enfants préfèrent passer des heures devant l’ordinateur ou la télévision plutôt que d’aller jouer dehors? Selon une recherche menée récemment par la Société canadienne de physiologie de l’exercice (SCPE) et le gouvernement du Canada, il est essentiel pour les enfants entre l’âge de 5 à 17 ans de prendre part quotidiennement à des activités physiques d’une durée approximative de 60 minutes.
Effectivement, faire de l’exercice de manière régulière diminue considérablement leurs chances de développer des problèmes d’obésité qui à leur tour peuvent conduire à des troubles de santé comme le diabète et des maladies du cœur. Désirez-vous que vos jeunes aillent une vie plus active et par le fait même plus saine?
Si oui, Sportball offre des sessions sportives incluant une multitude d’activités et de jeux amusants spécialement créés pour s’assurer que vos enfants dépensent la quantité d’énergie recommandée, développent de nouvelles aptitudes et rencontrent de nouveaux amis. Plaisir assuré!
Inscrivez vos jeunes dès maintenant pour nos programmes du printemps au http://www.sportball.ca/
Ne tardez pas trop, le nombre de participants est limité!

Kids, Get your Moves On!
It's simple, kids always have a blast when it comes to Sportball...an organisation that has some kick to it while improving the basic skills of children in numerous sports. It goes beyond kicking a soccer ball or throwing a football, it becomes a club where kids from 2-12 years of age learn new skills from trained coaches and make friends at the same time.
Sportball brings out the "social bug" in even the shyest participants because everyone wins at every session. Kids learn to be the best they can be and engage in some precious regular physical activity that burns off their boundless energy. Best of all, it is done in a totally non-competitive environment that gets the most out of each participant. It is simply amazing!
Do you ever wish your kids could acquire the skills needed to enjoy physical activities under different conditions? If so, share your thought with us and learn more about the Sportball programs in your area!

S’amuser, un point c’est tout!
Sportball est un concept innovateur qui plaira non seulement aux jeunes sportifs, mais aussi aux plus timides qui ont l'habitude de ne pas s'impliquer dans les activités physiques. Je me rappelle quand j'étais au primaire, je ne voulais jamais jouer avec les autres de peur de me faire choisir en dernier ou tout simplement de faire rire de moi. Sportball offre une toute nouvelle perspective aux jeunes comme moi, apprendre et s'amuser dans un environnement non compétitif.
Les participants interagissent dans un milieu dans lequel commettre une erreur n'est pas un échec, mais plutôt une opportunité pour s'améliorer. De plus, les jeunes obtiennent beaucoup d'encouragement de la part de leurs entraineurs et à la fin des séances chaque enfant reçoit un certificat d'excellence. Les jeunes peuvent ainsi développer leur estime de soi et leur esprit d'équipe et tout cela en s'amusant. À Sportball, il n'y a que des gagnants!
