A structured, evidence-informed approach that uses physical activity and sport to support young people's emotional, social, and behavioural development — delivered through 1-to-1 or small group sessions (groups of up to 4) by a professional athlete.
We meet with the SENCO, pastoral lead or referrer to understand the specific needs of the young person and how we can best support them.
We design a bespoke mentoring plan — 1-to-1 or small group — structured around each young person's emotional and social development goals.
Regular sessions are delivered in the community and on the pitch, using sport and physical activity as the vehicle for therapeutic conversation and growth.
We provide regular updates and progress reports so schools can track impact and share outcomes with parents and local authorities.
Our curriculum is built on the AQA Unit Award Scheme, with 30 units selected across Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3, mapped to our Connect, Explore, Grow, Sustain therapeutic model.
All units are accredited by AQA. No exams, no tests. Evidence is gathered naturally through the mentoring relationship.
Schools, parents or professionals complete our simple referral form with the young person's details and areas of need.
We arrange a relaxed pre-placement interview with the young person to understand their goals and build rapport before starting.
We assess suitability and level of need to ensure the right support and the right mentor match.
We confirm the placement and agree a start date that works for the young person, family and school.
If the placement is directly school-funded, our terms and conditions and payment terms are sent for sign-off.
