Unique “multi-sport” program for kids coming to the Pyramid Centre

Town of St. Marys recreation staff have partnered with Sportball London to bring a unique program for children ages two to nine to the Pyramid Recreation Centre.

The “multi-sport” program exposes youngsters to eight different activities -- soccer, baseball, basketball, football, hockey, volleyball, golf and tennis -- in a non-competitive environment.

The parent and child program for ages two and three allows children to explore the above sports with the help of a guardian and Sportball coach. There’s also a drop-off program for ages three and a half to nine.

“Research has shown that when kids play multiple sports from a young age they tend to stay active longer. They are also more likely to succeed in competitive sports when they are older and specialize in a sport,” Natalie Geerlinks, London Sportball Franchise Owner and Operator explains, “Our programs are designed with the mindset of having age and developmentally appropriate skills that build confidence and educate children in a fun and engaging way!”

The next Sportball session at the Pyramid Recreation Centre begins January 8. Pricing and registration details can be found at www.sportball.ca/london-ontario/program-schedules/st-marys/.

Early-birds who register online at the above link before November 20 will qualify for a 15 per cent discount.
