What is the Play For Sport program?
Play For Sport offers sports readiness, fitness, exercise and movement training to preschool aged children. We offer
the services at public and private daycare centers, mother's day out programs, youth centers and other locations. The
classes not only bring added value to the centers, but they help children with cooperation, perseverance, teamwork,
sharing, concentration and other social skills. Because our classes can be taught indoors or outdoors and don't
require much room, our program allows centers to offer a full spectrum of sport classes right at their facility, thus
increasing their value to their customers. Parents enjoy the addition of our classes because their children are being
active, fit and healthy during the time they are already at the childcare facility. Parents also love the fact that their
children are being exposed to all major sports without having to run all around town from practice to practice after a
hard day at work.
Why was Play For Sport founded
Play For Sport was founded in 2006 by Mike and Ruthi Elliott as a way for parents to better introduce their children to
organized sports. Since we, as a society, are starting our children in organized sports at younger and younger ages, it
is imperative we teach them the proper social skills, basic fundamentals and teamwork ideas prior to signing the
players up for a full season of team sports. It is very common for children to get their first real exposure to a sport only
once they have committed to playing a full season. What happens if the player doesn't like the sport?
What if the player doesn't like the sport once they have made that commitment?
This always puts the parent in a hard place! Do you allow the player to stop playing after they have committed to the
team? Do you discuss the fact the player has made a commitment to his/her teammates and must finish the season?
What to do? Any decision the parent makes will certainly make someone if not more than 1 person unhappy. If
coached and introduced properly, sports are a great outlet and resource for our youth. We try to foster a safe
environment where children can be allowed to learn the fundamentals of different sports while having fun, learning
teamwork and fair play.
