Playing with Balls

Moms always need to prepare a season ahead. Like shopping for spring clothing in February, registering for soccer and baseball in February is a must (even if that diamond is still smothered in snow).

Soccer and softball are perennial spring favorites due to the low cost, minimal equipment (read: no goalie pads) and community team spirit. Registration for local softball and soccer teams starts this week in many communities and we have provided a list of useful links here to get you started.

But, if you’re hoping for more instruction and less competition, we highly recommend enrolling your child in Sportball. New to Calgary, Sportball is a non-competitive, highly energized program that teaches the basics of popular ball sports to kids aged 16 months to eight years.
