Next Level Sports
At Next Level Sports (NLS), we are looking to break down the barriers between youth and high-quality sports training. We are looking to fill the gap between recreational sports and competitive sports to allow youth from all backgrounds and skills to continue to learn and grow in sport.
Through community partnerships, we hope to build strong ties to the sports community in London, and ensure that all athletes, regardless of skill and ability, have access to the programming they deserve.
Why Next Level Sports?
- Confident coach staff: provide technical constructive feedback
- Coach and leader development: bring more coaches into the London community
- Fun safe environment: athletes feel comfortable and confident to grow in their sport
- All of our programs can be subsidized though our community partners Kidsport London and Jumpstart
