OUR HISTORY

Back in 2010,  we started out solely as a football coaching academy but through the needs of many schools in the surrounding area, we have branched out to multi-sports activities in schools. We strive to be inclusive and involved in developing the next generation by engaging in a number of sporting activities to learn and enjoy. We feel this is very important to help the fledging stars of the future to lead a healthy lifestyle and help them learn life skills and discipline along the way.

OUR MISSION

We want to enable children of all abilities to come and have fun, to learn in a positive environment which will help them go on to be motivated, participate and achieve. Our programmes are specially designed to help nurture and develop children’s skills and talents. This is done through technical, skill and match-related practices, but most importantly is a place where children can come, have fun, learn and meet new friends along the way.

OUR COACHES

Our coaches and staff have been hand-picked, having a vast knowledge and passion for PKA. All of our staff have up to date qualifications and DBS checks. We strive to maintain the highest standards of delivery in every aspect of our coaching sessions to ensure that every child’s needs are catered for. We ensure that all of our staff members are up to standard in all areas of business.
