WELCOME TO




The sports coaching specialists based in Leeds, West Yorkshire coaching across the UK and Australia

"I love your ethos and not just that, it really works - when you step back and think it is a simple mindset - kids play without fear of an adult telling them not to do it and try things, even if it means conceding a goal - its a long term view just like that of a school education policy - a maths teacher wouldnt shout at a student for getting a question wrong - they'd simply find a solution which would mean not worrying and trying again!!" (Mr Light, teacher)

"Mark Senior is simply one thing - rare! A person that is not coaching for his own benefit but for the benefit of the kids involved. I have often thought how he manages not to step in during coaching sessions and tell the kids what to do when they make mistakes; he calmly gets the kids to find their own way - its a gift and im glad my son has attended and it was worth it! (Martin, parent)

"I was shocked when my son came over to me, hugged me, said thanks for bringing me to the session and on the way home asked if he could show me his new skills when we got home - after 20 minutes of enthusing about what he had learnt, he then politely got me a drink explaining the need for re-hydration and took a pile of washing upstairs and put them away. All because the coach has said - "to be good on the pitch try be good off it and remember how much time your parents put into letting you come along. WOW!" (Cathy, parent)
