Away from the sports field, Dragonball Education offers children the opportunity to explore limitless possibilities using their own creativity and imagination, expressing themselves through words, movement, music and craft in a stand-alone workshop session or as part of a six week creative learning programme.

Dragonball’s educational resources are created by education professionals in line with the curriculum and there’s also the opportunity for children with SEND to improve their mental and physical wellbeing through creative workshops as well as games on the sports pitch.

Using examples from the Sammy Rambles books, children build skills in layers using a holistic approach to learning that includes every child, enhancing their reading comprehension, grammar and phonics, giving them tools and confidence to excel. These English interventions complement Dragonball on the sports field, engaging children of all ages and abilities in both sport and literacy.

Dragonball is an exciting team sport that can be played indoors or outdoors, on grass, Astro, concrete, sand or in a sports hall. There are two teams, two goals and seven Dragonballs in every game and games can be played to time or to points. As well as playing Dragonball on the sports pitch, there are Dragonball educational resources available too.

Designed by education professionals in line with the curriculum, children (including SEND) can play Dragonball as part of a six-week sports programme and/or use Dragonball in the classroom using examples from the Sammy Rambles and Bumper and Friends books to build literacy and creativity skills for children of all ages and abilities.

Working with industry leaders Dragonball is a fully inclusive sport where SEND children can and do excel. Dragonball is adapted specifically to enable children with disabilities to join teams with their friends and play social and competitive games.

Through Dragonball’s additional resources created by education professionals in line with the curriculum, there’s the opportunity for SEND children to improve their mental and physical wellbeing through creative workshops as well as games on the sports pitch.

Dragonball CPD (Continued Professional Development) sessions are available to schools and clubs for teachers and coaches to learn more about Dragonball and be able to take Dragonball into PE lessons, sports days, and run tournaments.

These interactive sessions are designed specifically for teachers and coaches and cover everything from running Dragonball games in PE lessons to running leagues and tournaments.

Everyone is invited to take part in playing Dragonball and as well as learning the origins of Dragonball, the rules and what to look for in players and referees to run safe and enjoyable games, the CPD also covers how Dragonball can be influential in the classroom, helping children build their writing and creativity skills too.

Dragonball is available to School Sports Partnerships and School Games Organisers as activity days, sports days and enrichment days. There’s also the Dragonball Sport six-week PE programme, Dragonball holiday camps, sport festivals, tournaments and joining (or creating) a Dragonball League in your area.

As well as playing Dragonball on the sports field, children can also join in creative activities with reading time, writing workshops, movement to music, and developing their literacy, reading comprehension and imagination to complement physical activities.

Giving access to sport to children in the community, Dragonball is available to Community Trust Foundations and Local Councils to promote mental and physical wellbeing in children and young adults.

Using an inclusive and holistic approach, Dragonball is available both on the sports pitch (indoors or outdoors, all year round) and in the classroom bringing English interventions to help children excel using imagination, writing and creativity workshops.
