Why the Dutch Move Differently

The Netherlands consistently ranks among the world’s top ten nations in sport—despite its small size. 

That success starts in childhood: movement is part of education, not competition. 


Kids learn to balance, jump, and explore through play long before joining a team. 


Behind this culture stands a strong foundation: in the Netherlands, every PE teacher completes a four-year bachelor’s degree in movement education. 

Skillsprouts brings that proven, joyful method to families everywhere. 

 

Our mission: build skills that last a lifetime

At Skillsprouts Academy, our mission is simple: give every child the skills and confidence to say “I can do this” in any sport, at any age. 


We believe movement should feel joyful—not forced. 

By developing all fundamental motor skills early on, children gain a foundation that stays with them for life. 


Whether they love soccer or dance today and switch to padel, climbing, or surfing years later—these skills stay with them, making it easy to step into any sport with confidence and excitement.
