“In the winter, my son’s daycare did a Sportball class once a week and man, my son thought it was the funnest thing ever. Of course I was always at work so I just had to take his word for it.
Well, now that my school and our older dd’s activities are all over, I figured I had time for an activity for him. So I put him in the Sportball Outdoor soccer. These people are AMAZING!”
