Sportball provides non-competitive sports instruction for children ages 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 overall fun.

If we asked one of our Sportball parents to dream up their child's ultimate class, it would probably end up looking a lot like our star program, Multi-Sport. Multi-sport classes keep children moving and engaged and send them home with new skills from a different sport each class. Please note Parent and Child Multi-Sport requires an adult to participate in each class. '''

Please review the equivalency chart to determine the appropriate lesson for registration. If you have any questions about the appropriate class for you or your child, please contact the recreation office: 905-945-1288 or recreation@grimsby.ca.
