About us

The Play Team is a company dedicated to inspiring children and young people to lead active and healthy lifestyles.  Our aim is to achieve this through provision of the highest quality Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity (PESSPA).

Founded by Andrew Rowles, The Play Team has over 20 years industry experience with highly qualified staff coming from Primary, Secondary, College and University teaching backgrounds.

Childhood Obesity is a serious and very much publicised problem.  Current statistics indicate 1/3 of children (aged 2 to 15 years) are overweight/obese, with clear links between this and mental health issues. We are committed to tackling this problem, using our passion and experience to inspire those we engage with.

PLAY is not a luxury,

PLAY is a necessity.

  • Play is not just about having fun but about taking risks, experimenting and testing boundaries.

  • Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners.

  • What we learn with pleasure, we never forget.
