ABOUT US

WHAT IS Marina’s Baby Ball?
Our Program is designed to provide a variety of developmental benefits for the kids 2-8 years old, encompassing all facets of early childhood education. Each child engages in activities that foster physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. We have two different soccer classes each tailored to a different age group. However, we have two core beliefs that we take into every session.

OUR CURRICULUM

We use familiar songs, stories, nursery rhymes and fun games to introduce soccer to children as young as two years old. Our unique curriculum triggers your child’s imagination by taking their soccer ball on adventures to the zoo, the movies, and even an enchanted castle! Our philosophy and curriculum encourage children to tame their bobcat with their learned deceptive dribbling and ball striking skills. We leverage creative play and the important developmental skills it provides to make fitness and soccer their favorite weekly activity!
