Praise for the Certified Youth Physical Literacy Specialist Certification:
I’ve had the privilege of witnessing how Brett has been able to inspire so many kids to love exercise. I’m excited he’s now sharing his methods with other professionals! If you want to learn how to make a serious impact on a child’s life, take any opportunity you can to learn from Brett and SPIDERfit Kids.

“Working and consulting with young athletes and organizations around the world through the IYCA, I’ve witnessed how overspecialization in certain sports and a lack of active play at a young age have had a negative impact on overall athleticism. It’s like we have to teach our youngest athletes how to play again! SPIDERfit Kids’ Youth Physical Literacy Specialist certification helps coaches and other youth fitness professionals overcome these unfortunate trends with a program framework that makes it fun and easy to engage, inspire, and develop the youngest of athletes.  
If you work with young children and want to help them start to build a foundation to be active and athletic for life, I highly recommend the SPIDERfit Kids’ YPLS certification!”

“I work with children with autism, ADHD, and a variety of special needs. The SPIDERfit Kids YPLS Certification has given me the science, program templates, and tons of other resources to help me inspire these kids to enjoy physical activity. I’m now able to use different activities to not only improve physical skills, but learning and social skills too. Most of all, the kids have a blast. Most other trainings and resources I found were primarily for athletes or kids that already had a firm grasp on fitness skills. I’ve gotten so much from my YPLS certification because it gives you what you need to really help ALL kids. If you work with kids, get the YPLS certification!

Frequently Asked Questions

 Where will this course take place?

The course will take place in Galway, Ireland.

Connacht Taekwon-Do 7, Glenrock Business Park, Ballybane Industrial Estate

If I have been through the Powerful Play course, will this be new information?

Absolutely! While some basic tenants of the Powerful Play course will be practiced, we will be sharing our entire system for youth program design.

I don’t work with kids, but I need new play-based ideas for my adult boot camp.

While the context of the certification is developed around the needs of grade school age children, many of the unique program strategies, activities, and games work extremely well for adult boot camps as well.

Is there a written exam?

Yes. Those scoring 75% or higher on this multiple-choice test will receive their certificate of completion. One online test re-take is available for those who do not pass the written test during the training weekend.
