Sports Academies - Unleashing Potential

We have been asked these questions in the past. If there is anything that we haven't covered please just get in touch.

Are your coaches CRB checked?
All of our coaches are FULLY CRB cleared.

What do children need for Sport Academies?
We provide all equipment so children won't need to bring any themselves. If your child would like to bring their own tennis racket or cricket bat they are more than welcome to and please ensure that all belongings are CLEARLY LABELLED with your child's name. We advise that money (over a few pounds) or valuable items are not brought to our academies.

What should children wear?
Clothing that is comfortable and suitable for playing sport and trainer type shoes. In the cold months, a jumper and rain coat are important. In the summer months a hat and sun cream is essential. Please ensure that all belongings are CLEARLY LABELLED with your child's name.

Do children need to bring food?
Nutrition is an important for athletes so we recommend healthy snacks to keep energy levels up and lots of water to stay hydrated. For full day holiday academies please bring a packed lunch. Some academies offer pre ordered packed lunches. Please check availability at your chosen venue,
Please note that Sport Academies has a NO NUT policy to ensure that all children are safe. If your child has other food related allergies please mention it during booking.

Do you have qualified first aiders on camp?
There will be at least one first aider at every academy.

What do you offer for working parents?

• "Extra time" is available at some of our holiday academies where you can drop off at 8am and pick up at 4pm.
• Childcare vouchers - We accept payment with childcare vouchers at some of our venues.

Please check availability at your chosen venue.

Can parents stay?
Of course they can. There is nothing better than seeing your children having fun!

What happens if there is bad weather?
Sport Academies will carry on in all weather unless it is a danger to the children. We have a great wet weather programme in place to keep children inspired.
Snow, rain or shine Sport Academies will be on!

Can my child be in a group with his brother, sister or friend?
We want children to enjoy their time at Sport Academies and we will try to make sure they are grouped with their friends. Please state any such requests in the "Other specific requirements" field at the time of booking.

Do you children have a choice in activities?
To keep children motivated there has to be a level of choice. Coaches follow a timetable but there is always scope to cater for particular favourites.
