FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What ages are the programs designed for?
The Play Series is specifically designed for athletes aged 8-16, with age-appropriate progressions and modifications. We understand growing bodies have different needs than adults.
Does my child need to be a "runner" to benefit?
Absolutely not! These programs help ANY young athlete. Whether they play football, basketball, athletics, netball, or any sport - running technique is fundamental to all movement and performance.
Can I coach my child at home?
Yes! All programs include parent coaching guides and follow-along videos. No fancy equipment or facilities needed - just a willingness to invest in your child's development.
What if my child has had sports injuries?
Our injury prevention focus is perfect for young athletes with injury history. We teach proper movement patterns that protect developing bodies and reduce re-injury risk. Play Stronger is specifically designed for this.
How long does each program take?
Programs are flexible to fit your family's schedule. Most families spend 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times per week. The key is consistency, not marathon training sessions.
Will this conflict with their current sport training?
Not at all! The Play Series ENHANCES their current sport by building better movement foundations. Think of it as the "cross-training" that makes them better at everything they do.
What's included with the programs?
Each program includes: video coaching, parent guides, progressive training plans, access to our private community, direct coaching support, and ongoing updates. Plus all our lead magnets and resources.
Are you Melbourne-based only?
While we're based in Melbourne, all our programs are available online to families anywhere in Australia (and globally). Local Melbourne families can access in-person workshops too.
Join hundreds of Melbourne families giving their kids the movement education that schools and clubs don't teach.
