History

Laura started teaching the classes herself in 1997. Since then we have added more sports and have hired kid-friendly skilled coaches to teach tennis, volleyball, basketball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, flag football, pickleball and baseball and continue to grow wherever we have good coaches and kids interested in learning and playing sports.

Schools were so happy with Laura's classes that they asked her to provide other sports programs. Kassirer Sports currently provides tennis, soccer, basketball, volleyball, ultimate frisbee and game time classes at schools all over California. We are constantly hiring coaches and adding schools.
