About Us

“It’s our mission to give as many children as possible the skills, motivation, and opportunity to lead an active and healthy life. Therefore, we’re sharing the tools and knowledge you’ll need to spark a passion for movement that’ll last a lifetime.”

How It Started

An Englishman and an Irish man walk into a school… the rest is history. Damien and I (Aiden) have had the good fortune of working together for many years now. We quickly stumbled upon the fact that we had the same passion – getting kids moving and smiling. And hey! I think we’re pretty damn good at it.

As Physical educators, we’ve got an unfair advantage when it comes to keeping our own kids active, happy and healthy. We’ve had years experimenting with our guineapigs… I mean students! From the ‘Pool Noodle Olympics’ to the ‘Rocket Run’ we’ve pretty much tried it all. That got us thinking, maybe it’s time to share the secret sauce.

How It’s Going

So here we are… we made a website! (hold applause)

But seriously, physical activity is a powerful thing. It brings us together, keeps us healthy and makes us happy, amongst other things. We could show you the science, but we’ll spare you for now.

We firmly believe that children should have access to meaningful movement opportunities every single day. Therefore, we’re pumped to bring you insights, inspiration, and tools you can use at home to make this a reality.

Here’s what we can offer, right now:

Active Match – the fruity, physically active, memory matching game (try saying that 3x faster) It’s the perfect way to get the whole family together after a tough day at school and work for a few giggles and a bit of exercise.

The Blog – Over the coming days, weeks, months, years… we’ll be working to bring you insights that will help you and your family maximize the time you have together. We’ll cover topics like: Physical literacy, Motor and social skill development, How to get more movement in a family setting and much, much more.

Newsletter – If you’re looking for inspiration and knowledge about your child and their development, subscribe to the newsletter. We’ll send activities, games and inspiration straight to your inbox.

PE Resources – If you’re an educator, we’ve also got you covered. Check out our ‘Teacher pay Teachers’ store for some freebies and slick teaching materials that cover all the bases. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Motor-Skilled
