For man and his pursuit of progress and play.
Progress And Play®
You want to build something with your life. Become more capable. Share experiences that contribute to your goals. And have the right men around you to make the most of it.
Men who carry a high standard across sport and the life they’re building. Men who choose to show up with good people, play like a pro, move like a gentleman, and stay focused on what they’re building.
But nothing has brought together men like you. Until now. Welcome to Progress And Play®. An online directory of men selected for their character + a private series of multi-day sporting experiences each year.
THE IDEATHE MAN
progressing through life, while leaving room to play and enjoy the fruits of my labour.
When I first met Bailey, I didn’t feel like it was a typical call. It felt more like a catch up with a long-lost friend. It was clear from the first call that Bailey would become someone I wanted to keep close. We’ve connected on a deeper level thanks to the help of this platform, and Bailey has now become extremely involved in my projects, outlooks on life, and I value his opinion greatly in all shapes of business and life.
I can’t recommend Progress And Play enough.”
“Progress And Play defines exactly what I want to be as a man:

Men recognised and selected for their character
WHAT WE DO
We select men based on character, and vet every man for alignment before he joins.
We give every man direct access to the directory — searchable profiles, direct contacts, confidence in the people.
We run a private series of sporting experiences each year, for the men to participate and compete in.
THE CIRCUIT
Progress And Play® in Queenstown, New Zealand.
THE FIRST EXPERIENCE: december 13-18, 2025“I really enjoyed the New Zealand experience. The time we spent talking and exchanging ideas was definitely the highlight for me. And if I had to rate the experience, I’d honestly say 10/10. It’s hard to rate it any lower in an environment like that, with those kinds of activities.”

PROGRESS AND PLAY®: CIRCUIT
A private series of sporting experiences, for selected men to participate and compete.
THE PASS
Progress And Play® Pass
Your Pass gives you a place in the directory and the circuit — direct access to every selected man, and the ability to participate in the circuit.
It doesn’t take money to get a Pass, it takes character and alignment.
invite / application only-
Start by submitting your online application — who you are, your background, your sports, what you're pursuing.
The application is designed to understand who you actually are, not just what you've achieved.
Every man is reviewed and approved through the Progress And Play® application process.
-
If your application moves forward, you'll be invited to schedule an introduction call with Bailey, Founder of Progress And Play®.
A genuine conversation to understand your background, your goals, the sports you do, and whether there’s clear alignment with the men already inside.
-
If there’s clear alignment, you’re given your Pass.
We meant it when we said “It doesn’t take money to get a Pass, it takes character and alignment.”
A physical, handheld version of your Pass can also be ordered, personalised to you. For men who want to carry it.
-
Your Pass gives you access to the selected men of Progress And Play®, all within our online directory.
You can browse profiles, search by location, sport, or line of work, and reach out directly.
Use it when there's someone you want to meet in your local area, or somewhere you’re traveling to. Or when there’s someone you want to exchange ideas and work on something with.
No required calls. No forced engagement. No online community to keep up with.
Just the right men, when you want them.
-
As one of the men with a Pass, you can participate in the Progress And Play® Circuit — a private series of sporting experiences.

Why I started Progress And Play®
BAILEY HOUSE, founder
I was pursuing professional golf, running my first business, seeing real growth, confident in my character, with freedom, with resources.
On the surface, things were fine…
But each afternoon, I'd find myself sitting there alone, eating my meal, finished with work, knowing what I could be doing, and knowing the people I could be around… but wasn’t.
I'd see videos of guys sharing the most exciting life together. Sport. Travel. Experiences. Full of camaraderie. That I wanted for myself. But I didn't have my kind of people to do those things with. So I didn't.
I felt like I wasn’t making the most of years I'd only get once.
