ActionBall has been developed by Carryl van Bassen.   Carryl was born and bred in Johannesburg and has always been an incredibly active individual since her childhood and teenage years. 

Carryl was awarded her Springbok colours in life-saving as well as her provincial colours in swimming when she was a mere 16 years old. In addition to these achievements, Carryl was also awarded the State President’s Award for life-saving and her feats in respect thereto. As a result of her love for aquatic activities, this resulted in Carryl opening her own children’s swim school.

After having run a swimming school for 30 years, Carryl was dealing with children on a regular basis and started realising that our children are underactive, unhealthy and often overweight.

Carryl has always loved working with children which sparked an idea to introduce a programme which would encourage a healthy and active future for all children. As a result, ActionBall was introduced as this programme to ensure that kids would learn, as well as enjoy, being active and outdoor children again.

ActionBall has been a success ever since its inception and celebrates over 20 exciting years in the national market

Franchises have been established in all province of South Africa. You can find a franchise near you.

Hi Michelle

I've been monitoring Ethan's progress with regards to his movement sense. I've noticed over the past few weeks that he has been doing really well on the trampoline and swing. On the swing, he could never go too high as the backward motion would send him into a tizz. Now, he can go really high and loves it. Also, he does somersaults and hand stands on the trampoline. This really impressed me as he couldn't do this before, he could only tolerate linear movements. Lastly, we attended a party at Duck 'n Deck this weekend. Ethan enjoyed, and loved, two pony rides! He could never do this! I was absolutely amazed. I'm not sure exactly what you have been doing with him but I can see so many improvements and he "blames" you for it.

So, from Stuart and myself, a BIG thank you, my dear. I can't put my appreciation into words. Ethan and his sister, like all kids to moms I'm sure, are my life. The value you add to my boy is priceless and I cannot thank you enough.

Well done!

You are such an asset!

Due to this, I'm going to try my best to ensure I can afford to keep Ethan in your group for next year.

Thanx again Michelle.
Warm Regards Cindy
