Individual development within a group setting

At Excel Sport, we’re passionate about developing young people through the power of sport. We focus on giving children aged 3-12 the right start in life, supporting parents in building positive environments for growth and learning. As one of the largest sports coaching organisations in North London and South Hertfordshire, we bring nearly 30 years of experience, coaching over 1,500 children each week. Our approach is scientifically informed and personalised, ensuring that each child—whatever their skill level—receives the same level of care and guidance. While some parents dream of a future in professional sport for their child (and several of our athletes have moved to professional clubs!), most simply want the broader life skills that sports provide. At Excel Sport, we welcome all children and aim to make a lasting impact on their journey, both on and off the field.

Owner

At Excel Sport, we focus on developing the best environments for 3-12 year olds and support parents in understanding and developing these environments. We are a sports coaching company providing opportunity for being physically active and specialise in giving young people life-skills developed through sport. We have had several of our young people move to professional clubs, but more importantly, what we do provides a better chance of success, across all areas of life, not just sport.

Our programs are developed using sport psychology. We develop people to have a brighter future by improving confidence through the development of social and psychological skills. This will impact on motivation, commitment to tasks, relationships and ultimately improve overall happiness. Specifically we use failure and difficulty, within psychologically safe spaces, to build resilience and improve confidence and learning. We do this mainly in football but also in other sports.
