About Coach Perez

YOUR COACH

Manuel Perez

Coach Manuel Perez has spent over 50 years learning what makes kids move, laugh, and grow. In all that time, he built his own way of teaching — one that meets each child right where they are.

His secret is simple. He makes learning fun. When kids laugh, they relax. When they relax, the fear goes away. And once the fear is gone, they try things they never thought they could do. His students laugh so much they call him “The Funny Guy.”

Coach Manuel sets up motor skills drills and obstacle courses that feel like play. Kids forget they’re even learning. They just have fun — and their bodies get stronger, steadier, and more coordinated along the way.

That’s why he built The Fun and Games Coach. “This website lets me share videos from my real classes, so parents and teachers can use them at home or in the classroom.”

If you’re a parent — including families looking for adaptive movement — this is an easy way to help your child build coordination and confidence at home. No guesswork. No hours hunting for the right video. It’s all here, ready to go.

If you teach young children, Coach Manuel’s program gives you drills and lessons you can bring straight into your classroom. His Look, Learn and Teach method shows you how to teach each skill the right way, one step at a time.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear For Yourself

Several years ago Coach Manuel came to Children's House & Montessori School, wanting to teach Gymnastics and Motor Skills. Now years later, what has amazed me most about Coach Manuel's Program and Curriculum, is that children learned to really listen and follow instruction and directions. Children that Coach Manuel instructed learned to interact with one another and most importantly, children have developed Self-Worth and a tremendous amount of Self-Esteem. I gladly recommend Coach Manuel's Fun and Games Coach Program to any school or organization.

S. WhiteSchool Director

It is my pleasure to recommend Coach Manuel (The Fun and Games Coach) to any School or Learning Center. Coach Manuel has been teaching his Motor Skills Programs in my classroom as an after school Enrichment option for several years. During this time, I have seen his warm and energetic approach and his keen wisdom with children pay off time and time again. I have seen shy children blossom and over active children calm down. He is a wonderful and rare male asset to our school. As a mother of one of his students and the Montessori teacher of many of them, I have seen him work his magic as effortlessly as only the truly gifted can. I encourage any organization who is considering The Fun and Games Coach Program to give it a try. I am confident that you will be glad you did.

D.S. SchultzPrimary School Teacher

Coach Manuel has done many Preschool Motor Skills and Gymnastics Workshops for River City Gymnastics. His Coaching and Teaching approach is unique and refreshing. The Preschool Gymnastics Instructors he has taught are always engaged and motivated to try his drills in their classes. The Preschool Equipment he uses is different and exciting to try with our two year olds through Kinder ages. Children are always ready to try the new motor skills and equipment Coach Manuel suggest. His Motor Skills Program has been extremely beneficial for both children and instructor. Preschool teachers are better prepared and children have developed better Self-Confidence and Self-Control. I would highly recommend Coach Manuel's Gymnastics and Motor Skills Program and Workshops to any Preschool Gymnastics Program or Preschools and Learning Centers.
