Starting Aug. 3, children can play their hearts out in limited-time free classes at Great Play of Chandler, a combination gym-sports arena-interactive game center that’s like a kid’s wildest dream on steroids.

Even better? While youngsters play balloon tennis, break virtual bottles with real throwing balls and navigate obstacle courses, they happen to be working on motor skills, fitness and coordination.

The free classes take place 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 3-7. You must call ahead to determine which class suits your child and reserve a spot.

For more information, call (480) 726-7529 or visit www.greatplay.com.
