Sports Coaching
Our multi-sports programme introduces children to eight core sports through agility, balance, and coordination exercises. Sessions focus on fundamental skill development in football, basketball, and rugby while incorporating themed activities inspired by current sporting events. Coaches deliver step-by-step instruction in positive environments that encourage social interaction and lifelong sports participation.
Holiday Camps
Seasonal holiday camps provide full-day and half-day options featuring structured sports sessions, arts and crafts, and face painting. Children aged 3+ participate in small-group activities at Ofsted-registered venues across Edinburgh with snack provisions included. Camps operate during summer, Christmas, and Easter holidays with flexible booking arrangements for working parents.
Birthday Parties
Themed birthday parties accommodate up to 30 children with age-appropriate sports games and activities. Packages include equipment hire, party invites, and certified coaches delivering 1-2 hour sessions. Parents receive emergency contact details while children enjoy structured entertainment that minimises planning requirements for event organisers.

My daughter attended two days this week of the summer club.... I wish I'd booked more! She had an incredible time. The guys running it were brilliant with her and she's asked to go back as soon as it on again! Thank you!!

I would highly recommend these classes. Both my boys have gone since they were 3 (now 4 and 6) and absolutely love them. The classes cover lots of different sports skills and they're great fun. They've really helped bring on my boys' confidence.

This is one of the best groups out there! Brian and his team are fantastic with the kids. They get to learn about all sorts of sport and associated life skills. Most importantly having loads of fun along the way. My little one has been going since he was 2. Now 4 it's still one of his favourite clubs.

My son used to go to their classes and totally loved them. Unfortunately our schedule didnt fit in with the current term so we couldnt carry on, I plan to find a class we can get to for next term though. Just had Dale doing a fantastic job with my sons party, he entertained all 25 kids for an hour with such joy and grace. Thank you Dale, you are much appreciated! I cant recommend them highly enough... we parents got to chat in peace and even had prosecco!!!
