Enrollment Form: Western Heights. Term 3, 2025

Playball is a sport and movement program for children aged 2-9 years. 

The primary objective of Playball is not to create superstars, but rather to provide children with the opportunity to develop a range of essential social, educational, and personal skills.  By giving children competence in sport, they will develop fundamental life skills. From a child’s perspective, the most important element of our program is fun! For many children, their Playball lesson is the highlight of their week! 

For more information, visit www.playballkids.com

  • Maximum pupil-coach ratio of 10:1

  • Introduction to Eight Sports
  • Positive, enjoyable coaching environment    
  • Life skills through sports skills  

Playball is offered as an extra-curricular activity for year 1-3 students at Western Heights Primary School. 

We are currently taking enrolments for term 3, which will commence at the school on

Thursday, 24 July at 2:40 pm-3:45 pm

 

Playball fees are $110.00 (inc. GST) for an 8-week term. 

We will be limiting the number of children to 36 this term. 

To enrol your child/children, sign up online:
