Explore the first experience→HOW THE CHILD EXPERIENCE WORKS
One Passport connects learning, playing and progression.
These are not separate products. Each part creates a different kind of value for the child—and each becomes visible in one connected Player Passport.
Where learning becomes visible
Stage-appropriate matches and team experiences create the real-play evidence that practice alone cannot provide.
Explore Team Play →→Recognition along the way
Verified play, team contribution and learning behaviours build momentum. Points celebrate engagement—they never decide readiness.
See the points framework →→Readiness, confirmed
All six PDM-connected achievements, real-play evidence, required experiences and authorised coach approval come together.
See certificate requirements →CERTIFICATE
PDM achievements + competitive moments + coach judgement confirm what the child is ready for.
PLAYPOINTS
Playing + contributing + learning recognise the journey toward it—never replace the certificate.
