Founded in 2019 by former professional footballer Kudus Oyenuga, Parallel Sports Coaching is led by directors Kudus and Jermaine. We deliver fun, engaging, and high-quality sports sessions across a wide range of activities, iincluding football, gymnastics, lacrosse, orienteering, basketball, netball, and more.
​
Our team of experienced coaches bring a wealth of playing and coaching expertise across multiple sports. We take pride in designing sessions that are both enjoyable and educational, aligning with the EYFS framework for our nursery and preschool programmes and the National Curriculum for school sessions.
​
Our goal is to help young players build confidence, develop essential game skills, and foster a lifelong love of physical activity. We believe that regular participation in sports and extracurricular activities not only enhances physical fitness but also supports mental well-being and academic success.
​
All of our coaches are fully qualified, first aid trained, and hold up-to-date enhanced DBS certificates, ensuring a safe and professional environment for every child.
​
Mission Statement​
Our mission is to provide high-quality, curriculum-aligned sports coaching that promotes skill development, confidence, and healthy living. We are committed to encouraging children of all ages to enjoy sports for fun - not just to win - while creating opportunities for them to explore a variety of activities and challenge their own perceptions of what they can achieve. Through structured, engaging sessions led by experienced and passionate coaches, we help every child develop the skills and mindset to succeed both in sport and in life.
Our Culture & Environment​
At Parallel Sports Coaching, we take pride in our ability to connect with every child as an individual - with respect, empathy, and genuine care. We strive to create a positive, empowering, and safe environment where every child feels valued and supported. Our commitment to the highest ethical standards underpins everything we do.
​
We believe that strong relationships are the key to great coaching. Through every session and every interaction, we aim to deliver outstanding service and build meaningful, lasting connections with the children, families, and schools we work with.
​
Our coaches are dedicated to continuous professional development and maintaining the highest standards of practice. Every session is thoughtfully planned, clearly structured, and delivered with enthusiasm and purpose. We act with integrity, consistency, and a shared coaching vision that puts the needs of the child first.
​
Our core value is to deliver sports sessions that nurture the psychological, social, and physical development of every child - helping them grow in confidence, build respect for others, and develop behaviours that benefit them both now and in the future.
​
Psychological Development
We encourage a love of learning and a willingness to try new things. Our sessions build confidence, creativity, and resilience - helping children to think quickly, make good decisions, and understand how their actions affect others. We inspire them to imagine what’s possible, take pride in their efforts, and strive to exceed expectations in sport and in life.
​
Social Development
We promote teamwork, communication, and kindness. Children learn to support one another, form new friendships, and work collaboratively towards shared goals. We value good sportsmanship, respect, and unselfish commitment to others, ensuring that every session is enjoyable, inclusive, and fun.
​
Physical Development
Our sessions are designed so that every child, regardless of ability, can take part, improve, and feel a sense of achievement. We focus on developing coordination, strength, agility, and confidence, motivating each child to take pride in their progress, no matter how big or small.
​
Respect
Respect is at the heart of our culture. We connect with people as individuals, treat everyone with empathy and fairness, and foster mutual trust in everything we do. By modelling positive behaviour and ethical conduct, we aim to inspire the same respect and integrity in the children we coach.
