Sportsball is the story of Tai, a young child with an active inner world and an active outer world. Tai loves playing and watching sports with his dad and he loves his big red ball. He can do lots of amazing tricks with his ball but when a game at a birthday party doesn’t go his way, Tai has to work through his feelings and find a way to move through a difficult situation with the help of his dad, his friends and his imagination.

We created this show for 4-6 year olds. This is a great show for Dad to to bring the kids to!

Sportsball is a "sit and watch" show with some playtime at the end. Due to the highly physical nature of the show it is not safe for children to roam. Kids will be asked to stay off the playing space until the end.

No participation required: When you attend Cubbin shows, you will not be asked to be involved in the performance. Sit back and enjoy the show with your little one.
