The organization serves children aged 6 to 16, providing individualized growth plans through seasonal camps, after-school programs, and school partnerships. By integrating physical training with mentorship, the program aims to retain athletes who no longer thrive under conventional, win-first coaching structures.
Where Our Children Play Targets Sports Burnout With Holistic Model
Traditional youth sports often prioritize scoreboards over personal growth, forcing many children to abandon athletics entirely due to burnout. Where Our Children Play is expanding its alternative coaching model to Las Vegas and Italy, offering a curriculum focused on cognitive development and resilience rather than just competitive outcomes.
Co-founder Chalane Miller manages athlete development, while expert and author Reed Maltbie oversees the program's cognitive framework. This dual-country approach, operating across the United States and Italy, attempts to bridge the gap between local sporting cultures and long-term child wellbeing. Families looking for alternatives to standard leagues can now access these development-focused resources as the organization prepares for a 2027 expansion.
