PLAYBALL BECKENHAM

Learn, Practice, Play, that's the Playball Way!

What Playball says

Playball is a fun, structured and active way of engaging children in physical activity at a young age. Our scientifically researched curriculum, provides a good platform for enhancing life skills and building a strong base for confident sport participation. Our goal is clear, to teach sport properly so that any child who attends one or all of our five programmes will achieve a level of competence providing them with a springboard into future sports participation.

About

All of our programs are independent of each other and are taught accordingly, offering your child a completely different sporting experience and learning environment.
There are five age appropriate programs, each program lasting one year. In each program the children's developmental, emotional and physical needs are met. Each program has as one of its primary objectives to teach sport and movement and teach it properly, taking into account each age group's cognitive and emotional capabilities. Each program has an impressive creative component that ensures that each lesson is both exciting and positive. The children are never bored and genuinely love the lessons.

The Science Behind What We Do
Our objectives are twofold - to instill confidence to engage in life-long physical activity through enhancing "physical literacy". Physical literacy, like learning English or Maths, is the learning of fundamental movement and sports skills that will form a solid foundation for sports participation.
All sports can be broken down into individual skills needed to play them. Playball works from the bottom up ensuring that all levels are solid before moving on to a more advanced stage.

I’m an accredited LTA Tennis coach and have been coaching tennis for the last 14 years. During my professional career I’ve had the privilege of coaching with the Delgado Brothers and Judy Murray who have been inspirational to me. Another moment that I reflect on at the start of my career was coaching a very young Emma Raducanu at the ParkLangley Tennis Club. I also used to play cricket at a high level.

When I am not playing or coaching sport you can often find me performing live as a professional singer, having graduated from the Brit School of Performing Arts. I also have two young children, Myla who is 4 and Jesse who is nearly 2.

I have been working for Playball for some time and I am so excited to be taking over in Beckenham. I will make sure I meet all of you play ballers before January . Please contact me for anything on 07860854098.
