WELCOME TO PLAYBALL SAN FRANCISCO!
Hello! My name is Coach Dee Dee and I am the owner of Playball San Francisco.
Myself and my staff are currently teaching Playball in the
Squirrels classroom at Marilyn Reed Lucia center!
Playball is so incredibly unique as it is the first program to use sports as a means to
educate children in important life skills!
WHAT IS PLAYBALL?
Playball is a sports and movement program for children age 1-6. We offer a multi-skill program
which focuses on the basic fundamental sports skills of 6 different sports including soccer,
tennis, baseball, basketball, hockey, and volleyball. Our creative and highly engaging
curriculum ensures that the children have a positive experience with us and enjoy every minute
of being physically active!
HOW DOES IT HELP CHILDREN?
We use the medium of sports, not only to improve gross motor development, increase
concentration skills, build low muscle tone, to teach children to be competent in hand-eye/footeye coordination and improve balance; but sport is also used to teach basic, yet essential life
skills. At Playball the children learn persistence, courage, cooperation, respect, positive
relationships, self-worth, communication, responsibility, and countless other attributes. We
address the needs of the whole child - addressing the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical!
WHY PLAYBALL?
Today a sedentary lifestyle dominates our children's lives. The average child spends numerous
hours in front of TVs and computers. This can have a detrimental effect on the child's perceptual
motor skills: those skills that enable the child to act on and respond to information
received. Many children have low muscle tone and poor concentration. The child's social skills
suffer as do his/her emotional skills, and even intellectual skills may be affected. Playball's
highly active curriculum gets the children motivated, active, and having fun!
We find that children who attend Playball display:

