ENJOY-A-BALL BOUNCES BACK TO KNAPHILL!

We are delighted to announce that Enjoy-a-Ball Children’s Sports Coaching has returned and are running classes at the Knaphill Methodist Church. Toddlers and children, aged 18 months to 9 years, can enjoy action- packed, fun-filled weekly classes. The difference with Enjoy-a-Ball is that they play 10 different ball sports, which include Football, Rugby, Tennis, Basketball, Cricket and Dodgeball. The emphasis is always on fun, so the children learn important physical and social skills through playing with all the different equipment and playing games with the other children. The award winning multi-sports program was developed by physiotherapists, occupational therapists and PE specialists with the goal of giving children a solid foundation in movement and sports skills, as well as social skills. The classes run throughout the year, including holidays, with holiday camps also available. Class sizes are limited to ensure individual attention for each child. Coaches are DBS checked and first aid qualified. There is free on-site parking with step-free access to the hall at the Methodist Church. Under 3’s play with parent participation, and enjoy using sports equipment, a huge variety of balls, the sensory parachute, learning and developing gross motor skills, concentration, hand/foot-eye coordination and confidence. Over 3’s take part on their own, learning independence and listening skills. They play a different sport each week to give them a broad range of skills and sporting experiences. Social interaction, confidence and coordination are just a few of the benefits from the classes. To enquire about classes, contact Rebecca Ward on 07843 283830 or email [email protected].
