Children's multi-sport class

Sportball provides non-competitive sport instruction for children aged 16 months to 10 years. We want kids to develop physical literacy and a life-long love of movement and sport. We place our emphasis on competence and confidence building, socialization and fun over winning.

Multi-Sport is the perfect way for little movers to explore the world of sports. This fun and engaging program lets kids try just about everything including soccer, baseball, basketball, football, hockey, volleyball, golf, and tennis.

Location: West Lincoln Community Centre, 177 West St., Smithville

Registration

Registration is being facilitated online through the Sportball Niagara website. Trial classes are available.

Fall classes

Children and parents are introduced to 8 different sports through creative storylines, songs, rhymes and much more. The program focuses on exploration and children will be introduced to a different sport each week. Parents are encouraged to participate with their child and challenge them according to their skill level.

  • $205 per participant for 12 weeks of classes
  • Mondays from 5:15 to 6 p.m.
  • September 21 to December 14, 2026 (excluding October 12)

This program introduces children to the concepts and skills involved in 8 core sports. Using developmentally appropriate methods to introduce, practice and refine gross motor skills, this program reinforces the benefits of teamwork and skills development rather than the importance of winning, enabling children to gain confidence and develop the social skills necessary to succeed in sport and life.

  • $205 per participant for 12 weeks of classes
  • Mondays from 6 to 7 p.m.
  • September 21 to December 14, 2026 (excluding October 12)

Children learn the fundamentals of eight different sports in a fun, stress-free, non-competitive setting. Our Multi-Sport classes keep children moving and engaged and send them home with a new skill from a different sport each class. If you’re looking for a way to give your child a well-rounded sports-base that promotes their independence and leaves room for specialization later, look no further.
