A specialist provider of sports education for primary schools is opening an operation to serve the Rhondda Valley as part of its ambitious expansion plans.<\/p>\n

SportsCool works with schools to enhance the delivery of curricular and extra-curricular physical education, with the view that every child should have the chance to participate, progress and achieve.<\/p>\n

Its newest branch in South Wales is set to begin working with schools in communities across the Rhondda Valley<\/p>\n

Founded in the North West of England, SportsCool currently has 28 operations across the whole of the UK.<\/p>\n

It currently works closely with more than 400 education providers and has over 100 people working within its organisation.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s management team has a wealth of coaching, sport, education, and business knowledge and has set out plans for the next 12 months to accelerate its growth journey. Those plans include opening 20 new franchises in all parts of the UK.<\/p>\n

SportsCool\u2019s latest franchise will deliver its diverse range of sports to local schools, ranging from fencing and archery to ultimate frisbee and tri-golf.<\/p>\n

It will be headed by Dai Williams. The 31-year-old is a native of the Rhondda and is looking forward to making a difference through SportsCool\u2019s operations and seeing the operation grow.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019m passionate about making a real difference in the lives of young people in this part of South Wales and giving something back to the community<\/p>\n

\u201cSportsCool\u2019s vision is all about boosting the mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing of children and that\u2019s what drives me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dai, who is also a volunteer at Penygraig Boys and Girls Club near Tonypandy, added: \u201cThere is a sport out there for everybody, it\u2019s a question of finding it and encouraging youngsters to get involved and get active.\u201d<\/p>\n

All SportsCool\u2019s activities are underpinned by the company\u2019s ethos of \u201cEducate: Motivate: Participate\u201d. Its coaches make it their mission to find a sport for every child to love.<\/p>\n

SportsCool national director Lee Lysons said: \u201cWe\u2019re really excited about opening our franchise to serve the Rhondda Valley as part of our national plans for growth. The service we offer can benefit schoolchildren across its communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe\u2019ve witnessed solid growth over the last 12 months and as a result we are now set to accelerate that programme further, with plans to open 20 more franchises.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt SportsCool we believe that sports education is fundamental to a child\u2019s development and for 15 years we have been working with primary schools to that end.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also believe that every child should have the chance to participate, progress and achieve in physical activities. This in turn has a profound effect on self-esteem, confidence, motivation, physical aptitude, and all-round mental and physical health.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use positive rewards in everything that we do, our sessions raise aspirations, are accessible to all, and, most of all, they are fun. As a result, we see the youngsters that we work with blossom into confident, healthy and aspiring individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe are also giving people the opportunity to make a career of something that they love, setting up a coaching company, confident in the training, support and business development that we give them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are with them every step of their business journey. We look for people with passion, who want to make a real difference to children. That is at the heart of everything we do.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur coaches continue to train in new areas of sports education and take part in continual professional development so that we can offer the best experience to the children and teaching staff that we work with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to continue to be leaders in our field, inspiring increasing numbers of children and giving people the chance to forge winning careers in sports coaching.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
