Parents and families want a positive, engaging and fun sport and play experience for their younger children. Many traditional sport camps and programs focus on skills and often miss the "other parts" such as understanding and values that are needed for kids to have a fun and positive learning experience. Many of these traditional programs rely on people who lack the training, experience, and resources needed to create an engaging and growth-focused program.

Parents and families may feel frustrated by past experiences, the lack of quality learning experiences, quality program design and delivery, and the limited options available to them. Families should have access to quality programming and experiences that are student-focused and created to foster and develop the skills, understanding, and values needed to be active and competitive for life.

At PLAE , we want nothing but the best experience in physical activity and sport for families and children. A positive, engaging, and fun first experience is the first step to being active and competitive for life. For over 20 years, the founder of PLAE has been developing educational programs that are engaging and fun and focus on participants learning to master objectives in their own way.

Our PLAE programs are developed by international experts in the field of coaching, education, and child development and uses only the best practices to encourage growth. Our classes and programming have been created to foster the skills, understanding, and values that are needed for young athletes to start off on the right foot. We break down the learning experience into age-appropriate goals that drive our instruction, planning, and student development.

PLAE Coaches are mentored and certified using the National Coaching Certification Program to not only assist and guide learning, but to ensure a professional experience and create an experience where the learning is purposeful, engaging, and fun in a warm and welcoming environment.

Fun and learning are the focus of our programs. Our coaches encourage and support fun play while your child is challenging themselves by learning new fundamental skills, understandings, and values needed to be active and competitive for life. We do not settle for learning experiences that are based on practices from 20 years ago. These only develop a part of the skills that your child will need to find value in being active and to enjoy competition in sport for life.

At PLAE we believe in developing active and competitive communities. Using current research and best practices, we develop the skills, understandings, and values needed for everyone to be successful. This can be seen through our sport and recreation programming and partnership with after school care facilities and private school institutions, that will serve Quispamsis and the South-West New Brunswick region and potentially expand outside of the province.

Our ultimate goal is to invite families and the community who are unaware of the best practice, who are nervous of high-pressure skill development, lack of positive learning experiences and adult interaction to join us and change how they view physical activity and sport. With PLAE they can develop the skills, understanding, social skills, and values to be active and healthy for life, create a network of friends that share the same passion for fun and play and put passion back into play!

At PLAE Kids we design and create programs and classes where children, families, and professionals can learn and grow. Using current research and best practices, we develop the skills, understandings, and values needed for everyone to be successful.

Fun and learning are at the center of PLAE’s programming. The coaches encourage and support fun play while your child is challenging themselves by learning new fundamental skills, understandings, and values needed to be active and competitive for life.

Using current research and best practices in education and coaching, we have developed progressive programs and classes that will develop the children and family's skills, understandings, and values needed to be active and competitive for life. Each program has been designed to fit developmental benchmarks that are age-appropriate (based on current Physical Literacy, Sport Literacy, and Long-Term Athlete Development research) and will guide the successful development of the child. These programs will offer opportunities for children 2-12 years of age to be exposed to multi-sport and sport-specific learning experiences that will give them the tools to be active and competitive for life.
