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!
