My name is Eric, and I started WatchOut to give kids and families a better way to stay active—without pressure, screens, or traditional sports expectations.

I’m a full-time elementary physical education teacher with nearly a decade of experience working with kids of all abilities. Through teaching, I saw a consistent challenge: many kids need movement, confidence, and social connection—but don’t always thrive in traditional sports settings. WatchOut was created to fill that gap.

At WatchOut, we run movement-based experiences using ZTAG and traditional laser tag that feel like games but deliver real physical activity, teamwork, and confidence-building. Kids are running, chasing, strategizing, and working together—often without even realizing how active they’re being.

Our programs are designed for:

• kids who love sports and kids who are still finding their way — everyone belongs here.”

• Families looking for healthy, engaging alternatives to screen time

• Groups that value structure, safety, and inclusive play

Whether it’s a ZTAG or laser tag league at the YMCA, our monthly open play, or a private event, every WatchOut experience is fully facilitated, supervised, and built to maximize play while minimizing downtime.

WatchOut isn’t about replacing sports or technology—it’s about creating a space where everyone belongs, movement feels natural, and play builds confidence that carries beyond the game.
