Wishing a very happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible Moms!! You are are the true superheroes in this world 🦸‍♀️ Thankful for mothers everywhere today & everyday 💛

Learned a new skill this week ✅ This week’s pink advanced lesson plan challenged our Playball students to focus on their balance and coordination in order to properly gain control of the ball and successfully trap it. As a means to remind our students keep the tennis ball nearby, we used the metaphor or taking their “puppy on a walk in the park.” This activity can easily be practiced at home using a small ball or a pair of rolled up socks!

Knocked it out of the park this week at Playball 🏟️ From practicing their baseball/softball swings, to running the bases, it’s safe to say our students caught a good time ⚾️ Don’t be surprised if you see your child practicing their skills while cheering on the Braves this weekend!

Kicked off our new journey into the advanced lesson plans this week 💥 Over the last few months, we have completed the “intermediate” chapters and we have now progressed to the advanced lesson plans of our course! Stay tuned for some updates as we finish off the school year with some stellar activities and skills ⭐️

We got into the spirit this week 🏀 We practiced three of the most fundamental skills for balling out on the basketball court: dribbling, shooting, and passing. Swipe right to see some highlights of our future b-ball stars ⭐️➡️

Such an awesome week at Playball! At the end of each of our lesson plans, we incorporate a fun game for all of our students to enjoy 😄

This week’s lesson plan was the icing on the cake ⛸️🏒 One of the new skills we covered was puck control and hockey stick-handling. A challenging skill at first, our students were overjoyed after successfully executing the proper techniques! In addition to furthering the development of motor skills, practicing hockey is a great way to build coordination and agility 👌

The best time for a game is around 'tenn-ish' 🎾😉 We had an awesome time teaching our students the backhand shot this week, some might even say they aced it! Considered the more difficult shot to master, the two-handed backhand shot has become increasingly more popular in the modern game. Our students took on the challenge with excitement and executed the skill fabulously!

Despite the rainy days ahead, all smiles this week at Playball 😃 Bubbles are one of our favorite ways to end our Playball classes 🫧

Practice makes perfect 👌 An activity we might take for granted as adults, catching a ball is a developmental milestone for all children! Dropping and catching a ball not only engages multiple muscle groups but also heavily relies on an individual’s hand/eye coordination. Swipe to see some of our students feeling accomplished after successfully completing the skill 😃✅

The floor is lava 🌋 This imaginative exercise is a great way to test physical limits and impulse control, as well as improve sensory motor skills, core strength, balance, and eye-body coordination. This activity can easily be done in the comfort of your home and we encourage you all to try it out this weekend!
