Scientifically Designed Program
The Playball Program is the result of many years of Research & Development.
We Learn, We Practice, We Play...
The Playball Head Office team created the Playball Sports Program by researching This is The Playball Way! the developmental needs of 2 to 8 year olds through consultation with child development professionals. Playball understands the importance of teaching the right skills at the right time, so that children can develop a strong base of foundation skills on which to build.
Not only do we understand which activities are best for each age group and developmental stage but Playball’s holistic approach helps children to function in their everyday lives as confident and able individuals. Playball’s objectives are to develop a child in all aspects; physical, emotional, social and intellectual. We use sport as the means to teach all of these essential life skills.

My name is Dane Ries, I’m 20 years old and have lived in Cranbrook for 14 years. After graduation I’ve been enrolled at the College of the Rockies, and most recently SAIT taking kinesiology courses. When I was in Calgary I discovered Playball. I have always been quite athletic and involved with sports since I was young. With Playball, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to continue my love of sport by teaching others.

Samantha Muench Hi, my name is Sam! I’ve been working at the Aquatic Center for 3 years. During my time here I have become a certified Aquafit, Lifesaving, and First Aid Instructor. Outside of the pool I am passionate about hiking and the outdoors! See you at the pool.
Why wear shoes?
Aquatic shoes provide the wearer with more stability and traction for an upright stance when moving through the water. They reduce the effects of impact when jumping in shallow water and add resistance in deep and shallow water, thereby further helping build strength. What kind of shoes can you wear? Old trainers (as long as they are clean!), surf walkers, sport sandals, or specific shoes made for aquatic fitness. Ask any of our aquafit instructors where to buy these types of shoes, they will be happy to assist you!
