CHAMPIONING ACTIVE KIDS
The Story Behind Playstrong Movement Academy
Playstrong Movement Academy was created from a simple belief: children learn best when they are moving, playing, and having fun.
Movement helps children build confidence, develop social skills, strengthen their bodies, and discover what they are capable of achieving. In today's world, many children have fewer opportunities for active play, teamwork, and skill development outside of organized sports.
Playstrong was designed to fill that gap by bringing engaging, personalized movement experiences directly to families in Northeast Baltimore County, Maryland. Through individual sessions, small group activities, and birthday party experiences, children are encouraged to explore movement, practice teamwork, develop sportsmanship, and build lifelong healthy habits.
Every Playstrong session is built around positive encouragement, active participation, and the belief that every child can succeed. Whether a child is learning a new skill, gaining confidence in physical activity, or simply enjoying the fun of movement, the goal is always the same: to help children grow stronger physically, socially, and emotionally.
At PlayStrong, we believe that movement is more than exercise—it's an opportunity to learn, connect, and thrive.
Learn Through Play. Grow Through Movement.
Meet the Founder
Hi! I'm Emily Brylske, founder of Playstrong Movement Academy. I have been a Physical Education teacher for 10 years in Maryland.
Growing up, sports and physical activity were a huge part of my life. Some of my most meaningful experiences, friendships, and lessons came from being part of a team, learning new skills, and staying active.
Those experiences helped shape who I am today and inspired my passion for helping children discover the same joy and confidence through movement.
As a physical educator, I have dedicated my career to helping children develop not only their physical skills, but also important life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship, and self-confidence. I believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience success through movement in a positive and encouraging environment.
