S&C for school sport, delivered on site.
For directors of sport, heads of PE and club coaches. Squad testing, termly strength and conditioning, and reports your staff and parents can actually use.
What we offer
Three ways to work together
Most schools start small, with one testing day for one squad. If the data is useful, we build from there.
S&C programme
Pre-season blocks, in-season load management and off-season development, planned around your fixture calendar. Group sessions two to three times a week.
From £400 / month
Staff and coach support
Help for your coaches to run warm-ups, strength work and injury-risk reduction well between sessions, so the work keeps going when Rob is not there.

03
Power
Jumps on VALD ForceDecks: power, force, reactive strength and left/right balance.

Individual reports for every athlete within 2–3 days. Optional squad report for staff.

Questions
Common questions from schools
Do you come to us?
Yes. Testing days and S&C sessions run on site at your school or club. We need a flat indoor or outdoor space of around 40 m for sprint testing.
How long does a testing day take?
It depends on squad size. A squad of 20 typically fits within a normal games afternoon or training session.
Which sports do you work with?
Any. Rugby, hockey, football, netball, cricket, rowing and athletics squads all benefit. The tests are the same; the priorities in the report change by sport.
Can we start with one team?
Yes, and we recommend it. One testing day for one squad is the easiest way to see whether the data is useful to your staff.
How is pupil data handled?
Results are shared only with the athlete, their parents and the staff you nominate. Ask Rob about the details for your school.
Start with one squad.
Tell Rob which teams you have in mind and when. He will come back with a date and a simple plan for the day.
