R9 Sports Coaching

I have known Ricky for the last 9 years. He was my coach at Southampton FC for 3 years. His experience and coaching of the game was exceptional. I had three fantastic years playing under Rickys mentorship and coaching. Ricky was a big part of my successful pathway to becoming a full-time scholar and then onto being offered and becoming a professional footballer player. The seasons I played under Ricky was u8 development centres, then the academy in U11 U12s where we had some fantastic memories, with the highlight for me was that we only lost one game in a whole season which is a fantastic achievement in a premier league Cat 1 academy. Also winning numerous tournaments along the way. I would like to personally thank Ricky for all his help so far through my footballing journey. Aston Daley,

It has been a real pleasure to welcome Conan from R9 back this academic year to deliver coaching sessions as part of our PE curriculum. The sessions are consistently professional, highly engaging, and thoughtfully planned to meet the needs of pupils across different primary phases and key stages. There is a strong and genuine commitment to inclusion, with particular care taken to support our SEN pupils and those with physical or medical needs. The high-energy, skills-focused sessions motivate all children, with clear learning goals and well-established boundaries that create a positive and inclusive learning environment. We would highly recommend them and look forward to sustaining our relationship with them.
