Building a Dream: How Super Star Sport Became a Leading Sports Coaching Franchise
When I started Super Star Sport, it was all about the joy of working with children. Specifically, nursery-aged children. At the time, (2011) I was coaching part-time, delivering sports sessions to early years children. Seeing their smiles, hearing their laughter, and knowing that my sessions brought them joy and confidence was deeply fulfilling. That’s when I realised the impact sport could have, and I knew I wanted to create something bigger. Something that could inspire children across the UK to love sport without the pressures it can sometimes bring.

Initially, it was just me, leading sessions and building relationships with schools and nurseries. As the demand grew, I brought on our first coach, and that’s when it clicked: Super Star Sport could be more than just a local initiative. It could be a nationwide movement. Our vision was to grow as big as possible and inspire as many children as possible through fun, energetic, and positive coaching sessions. Every child deserves a chance to enjoy sport in a pressure-free, engaging environment, and I wanted Super Star Sport to be the provider that made this a reality.
