Each program, lesson, and activity is designed to ensure participants are developing the skills, understandings, and values needed to be a part of an active community.

At PLAE, we are passionate about creating vibrant, active communities by fostering essential skills, core values, and social connections that empower individuals to thrive in all areas of life.

Our multi-sport programs are thoughtfully designed for children aged 16 months to 12 years, focusing on building foundational skills, physical literacy, and a lifelong love for movement. Through engaging and developmentally appropriate activities, children gain the understanding and confidence they need to succeed both on and off the field. These programs emphasize fun, inclusion, and skill development to support each child’s unique journey.

For older children aged 5 to 16, our specialized basketball, ball hockey, volleyball, golf, and soccer programs take skill-building to the next level. These programs provide focused training opportunities that equip participants with the tools, techniques, and game strategies needed to excel in their chosen sport. Beyond technical skills, our programs instil values like teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship, building confidence that extends beyond the court.

Whether your child is just starting their active journey or preparing to pursue specific sports, PLAE offers an environment where they can grow, succeed, and develop a lifelong passion for physical activity. Join us in shaping active and connected communities where every child feels empowered to reach their full potential.

Our son (3.5) was very shy and hesitant to participate when he first started, but [the coaches] were incredible with encouraging him and it didn’t take long for him to open up! Classes are well thought out and our son looks forward to his “sports class” every week! Highly recommend."
