Our coaching
The very best coaches from the area.
Expert coaches, and a philosophy built around every individual child.
Every child is an individual
We coach the player in front of us. We want every child to understand their own game — not simply copy someone else's technique.
Skills that work under pressure
Technique is practised, then tested in game scenarios, so players learn to use their skills when it matters — not just in the nets.
More touches, more feedback
With a maximum of six players per net and a coach on every net, players get more balls, more turns and more one-to-one feedback.
The venue
Train at John Lyon School.
We coach in the John Lyon School sports hall, Harrow on the Hill, with three indoor nets and a bowling machine — and we’re expecting outdoor nets in summer.
