Parent-child sessions, delivered via our app

The only physical developmental programme designed to build physically competent children. Designed to be taught at home, by you.

Outdoor play builds the strength, our programme plugs any holes and builds the life skills.

We provide a science backed programme, starting from age 1, long before your child enters any sport specific programmes.

Our Story

We have plugged the holes
we found in other programmes.

Most sport programmes are separate and disconnected, football here, swimming there, outdoor time here. None of it is linked.

Movement Theory® was designed to change that. Every programme, session and skill builds on the last. There are no steep learning curves or large steps, every skill leads somewhere, every milestone is tracked and celebrated along the way.



"Movement is not a hobby. It is the architecture on which every later skill in life will stand."

What We Build

More than movement.
A complete child.

Every session is designed to develop your child's physical, emotional and social ability — all at once.

🧠
Brain Development
Movement and the skills needed for life aren't separate, they're the same thing at this early stage of life. Our programmes have been built to develop neural connections that underpin reading, writing, listening and focus to name a few.
🏃
Physical Confidence
Physical activity and movement help build bodies that feel safe and confident. Every fundamental movement skill has been placed in the right order at the age appropriate level so nothing is missed and nothing is rushed.
❤️
Social & Emotional Growth
Our social and emotional milestones are assessed regularly, ensuring we are building resilience, patience, leadership and more at the right pace and leaving nothing to chance.
How It Works

Designed for families
to do together at home.

No gym. No specialist equipment. Just a fine tuned programme, delivered through our app, that any parent, regardless of sporting background, can deliver.

📱
Sessions via app
Every session is delivered through the Movement Theory® app — no prep, no planning, just open and move. Every skill contains "why we do it," "what you'll need," "how to set the skill up," "exactly what to say," "how to make it harder" and "how to keep it safe."
🏠
Household equipment only
Every skill is designed for home, no special equipment, using only what you will find in your house already.
📊
Progress via app
Use our app to assess and monitor your child's progress, with clear assessment tiers and visuals showing areas where your child exceeds or may need additional work.
The Programmes

52 age appropriate lessons per year.

Completion of one programme leads straight into the next age programme, no steps or jumps, just a smooth, linear progression.

🎯
We've launched with 3 year groups first — ages 1 to 3 — and we're rolling out a new year group every few months as we grow.

Our Story

We wanted a programme for home.
So we built it.

Movement Theory® was built for our daughter to do at home, it then expanded into one continuous programme with no gaps or steps from start to finish. Science, structure and joy all in one place.

Most children attend multiple sports sessions here and there, none are connected though. We changed this and applied the science to back it up.
The Problem We Solve

One programme.
Not multiple disconnected programmes.

From your child's first intentional movements to the moment they walk out onto a sports field, Movement Theory® is one single continuous programme. Every age group programme builds the layer for the next programme, every session installs the foundations and every skill leads into the next progression.

What We Build

More than physically competent children.
A well rounded human.

Every Movement Theory® session develops multiple areas at once — body, brain, and character.

🧠
Brain & School Readiness
We use movement to build strong neural connections, these connections are what will help your child read, write, make decisions and focus, to name just a few.
🏃
Physical Confidence
We teach every fundamental movement skill in developmental order — so every child builds a complete physical toolkit, nothing skipped, nothing rushed.
❤️
Social & Emotional Skills
We track age appropriate social and emotional milestones through our app, alongside our physical milestones. Not extras. Essentials.

"Stretched enough to feel growth. Never so far to feel disheartened."


No child ever stalls. No child ever gets lost. The science is rigorous. The delivery is joyful. Every session asks slightly more of the child than the last. Every year group's graduation skills are the next year group's entry point. That's the Movement Theory® promise — and we never compromise on either.

The Programmes

One programme
per year group.
Ages 1 to 9.

Each year contains age appropriate skills, designed to build up your child's ability so moving into the next age group's programme is seamless. We are launching with the first 3 age groups and will release more as we grow.

Age
1–2
Year Group 1 — Available now
🌱 Sensory Foundations
Exploration
This is where the journey begins. Children learn what their bodies can do, moving, exploring and building the most fundamental awareness of themselves in space. You will be right alongside them making this a shared experience for you as you both learn just what they are capable of. This programme builds the foundation for the next programme which is slightly faster paced and a little more demanding physically.
Age
2–3
Year Group 2 — Available now
🛠️ The Movement Toolkit
Jumping · Balancing · Throwing · Kicking · Catching · Coordination
This is where the programme starts to develop every fundamental human movement skill, the skills that underpin every sport, game and physical challenge they'll ever take part in. Faster pace, more fun and absolutely essential. The foundations of bilateral coordination and focus are laid down here ready for the 3 turning 4 programme.
Age
3–4
Year Group 3 — Available now
✨ Refinement
Precision · Accuracy · Skills that start to look like sport
We explore bigger, more powerful movements here and introduce targeted throws and kicks. The foundations from the 2 turning 3 programme are sharpened into something that really starts to look like sport. We start to develop more social and emotional skills such as turn taking, patience and rule following. This leads us smoothly into our 4 turning 5 programme where we start to explore more individual sporting skills which will require rule following.
Age
4–5
Year Group 4 — Coming soon
💪 Power & Leadership
Stamina · Accuracy · Teamwork · Handling winning and losing
Children build real physical power and staying power — alongside the emotional skills that define great athletes and great humans. They learn to lead, to lose gracefully, to problem-solve as part of a team, and to keep going when things get hard. Which is needed for the demands of the future programmes and all sporting activities.
Age
5–6
Year Group 5 — Coming soon
🏅 Sport Foundations
Power · Agility · Integrity · Competitive composure
The first year of real sport-context training. Children develop genuine athletic power, agility, and the mental skills to compete with integrity. This year bridges the gap between playground movement and structured sport. This programme is designed to lay the foundations of game play which they experience in the 6 turning 7 programme.
Age
6–7
Year Group 6 — Coming soon 🚀 Rolling out
🏆 Sport Ready — Year 6

Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your information.

Movement Theory® — operated by DDLL Global Ltd  |  Company Number: 17206759  |  Last updated: 26 August 2026

Who we are

Movement Theory® is a children's movement education programme operated by DDLL Global Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company Number: 17206759). Our website is movementtheoryhq.com.

When we say "we", "us", or "Movement Theory®" in this policy, we mean DDLL Global Ltd. We are the data controller for the personal data described below.

What information we collect

From you, as the parent or carer who creates an account:

  • Your name and email address
  • Your billing details and subscription status (handled directly by our payment processor, Stripe — see below)

About your child, which you provide to us as their parent or carer:

  • Your child's first name and age group
  • Session and skill progress you log as you work through the programme together (for example, which skills have been practised and how your child is progressing)
  • If you also use a Movement Theory coach's reporting service, any assessment records that coach logs for your child

We do not collect any information directly from children. Everything about your child is entered by you, or by a coach you have chosen to share reporting access with. We do not knowingly collect data directly from children, and the app is not designed to be used independently by a child without an adult present.

We do not store your full card number or other card details ourselves — these are collected and processed directly by Stripe. See "Who we share your data with" below.

Why we collect it and what we do with it

We use your information to:

  • Create and manage your account and subscription
  • Process your payment and manage billing, via Stripe
  • Deliver the programme content appropriate to your child's age group and track their progress within the app
  • Share your child's progress with a coach, but only if you have chosen to connect a coach's reporting service to your account
  • Send you service-related emails (for example, billing receipts or important updates about the programme)
  • Send you occasional marketing updates about the programme, if you have separately opted in to hear from us this way

We do not use your child's data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose other than delivering and improving the programme for your family. We will never sell your data or your child's data.

Who we share your data with

We use a small number of trusted service providers to run Movement Theory. We only share what each provider needs to do its job, and we have agreements in place with each of them covering how your data is handled.

  • Stripe processes all payments on our behalf. Your card details are sent directly to Stripe and never pass through or stay on our own systems. Stripe is a PCI-compliant payment processor. You can read Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.
  • Glide hosts the app and the database that stores your account, your child's profile, and their progress data. You can read Glide's privacy policy at glideapps.com/privacy.
  • MailerLite is used if you sign up to hear about a programme or year group that hasn't launched yet, or to receive general marketing updates. MailerLite is GDPR-compliant; you can read their privacy policy at mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy.

If you connect a coach's reporting service to your account, that coach can see your child's assessment progress. We do not share your data with any other third parties, and we do not sell your data to anyone.

How long we keep your data

We keep your account and your child's data for as long as your subscription is active. If you cancel your subscription, we keep your data for a limited period afterwards in case you wish to reactivate, after which it is deleted. You can ask us to delete your data sooner at any time by contacting us — see "Contact us" below.

If you've only signed up for marketing updates about a future year group (not a paid account), we keep that until you unsubscribe or until the relevant programme launches and we ask for your renewed consent.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR and international data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you and your child
  • Correct any inaccurate data
  • Delete your data, and your child's data, at any time by contacting us
  • Object to how we use your data
  • Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have handled your data incorrectly

As a parent or carer, these rights extend to the data we hold about your child, since it is you who provides and controls that information.

Cookies

Our website itself does not use tracking cookies, and we do not use Google Analytics or any third-party advertising tools. When you check out, Stripe's payment page may set its own cookies for fraud prevention and to process your payment securely — this is covered by Stripe's own privacy policy.

Contact us

If you have any questions about this policy, or want to access, correct, or delete your data or your child's data, please contact us via the contact form at movementtheoryhq.com.

Common questions

What does "Week 1 is free" mean?
The first week of every year-group programme is completely free — no credit card, no commitment. You get a full session to try at home with your child before deciding whether to continue.
How does pricing work with more than one child?
The more children you add, the more you save per child. One child is £12.99/month. Two children is £19.99/month — a saving of £5.99 over two individual plans. Three to five children is £25.99/month total, with every age-group programme unlocked, not just the ones your children are currently in.
What's the difference between the 1–2 child plans and the 3–5 child plan?
The 1 Child and 2 Children plans give access to your children's specific age-group programmes only. The 3–5 Children plan unlocks every age-group programme (ages 1–9), which is ideal for larger families or if your children may move between stages.
What if I have more than 5 children?
Get in touch via our contact page and we'll put together a plan that works for your family.
Can I start today?
Yes. Sign up any time, choose your plan, and your free Week 1 begins immediately — no waiting, no card needed until your trial ends.
Do I need any special equipment?
No. Every session uses household items you already own — tape on the floor, rolled-up socks, a cushion. No gym, no specialist kit, ever.
