Lions Sports Academy is one of the fastest-growing youth coaching companies in the west London and Surrey areas.
The academy offers exceptional coaching sessions, to over 6,500 students a month, in both secondary and primary schools. Rugby, football, cricket and netball are just some of the sports that Lions currently provides coaches for.
For the schools who work with Lions, the coaching they provide is invaluable. It eases stresses and strains on staffing, adds diversity to the curriculum and offers a platform to build their own physical education lessons.
Coaching for schools includes (but is not limited to) after-school clubs, supply cover and development sessions for teachers. Lions deliver what schools need, when they need it most.
One of the reasons Lions can offer great coaching, to so many students, is because of their Lions Coaches Network.
I have been really impressed with the coaching, I’ve learnt a lot and the kids have too
Their coaching network – consisting of over 100 coaches – includes professional players, experienced coaches and qualified student coaches.
Coaching is often bolstered with additional guest coaches. Previous guests include England rugby flanker Lewis Ludlam and former London Irish winger Topsy Ojo. Recently two of their coaches, Katie Mason and Amy Wilson Hardy, have been part of the England women’s sevens squad. Katie is particularly appreciative of the support and flexibility that Lions offer her as a coach.
Before heading to the HSBC World Sevens Series in Dubai she said: “This wouldn’t be possible without the continued support of the staff at Lions. They allow me to continue chasing my dreams by having time off to represent my country.”
