Does my child need to be good at sport?
No! Our aim is to provide all children with a positive experience whether they have never tried a sport before or if they are extremely competant. All of our programmes promote structured learning and are lead by staff who are committed to ensuring each child enjoys themselves.
Do you provide food?
Sports Xtra do not provide food in any of our programmes so your child should bring along their own packed lunch, drink or snack as appropriate.
Are your staff suitably qualified?
All Sports Xtra staff are carefully selected on their ability to work with children and as part of that selection process, we require professional references and a recent enhanced CRB check. Most coaches have a Level 2 National Governing Body Award in at least one sport and all staff must complete a training programmein each course that they deliver.
