From Schools...
We have been using MK Sports to deliver extra-curricular lessons to our children for a number of years now with each year group in school. Matty has a brilliant way with the children and provides the right amount of challenge and support throughout each session. He is punctual, incredibly reliable and the sessions are both fun and excellent value for money. I wholeheartedly recommend MK Sports to deliver any sports programme in your school.

We love MK Sports at Old Hutton School!
Matty is an absolute star-sports-coach and his lessons are the highlight of the week to many of our pupils: he turns our Friday into Friyay! Not only are his lessons diverse (he can teach anything from Rugby to Gymnastics), but he helps the pupils really focus on developing their own skills, enabling them to gain a real sense of achievement! Matty is able to tailor all of his lessons for children of all abilities and builds up an excellent rapport with every class - every session is fun, engaging and inhabits the essence of an outstanding lesson: progress! We have also had the privilege of Matty delivering excellent extra-curricular activities after-school. Whether it is Hockey for KS2 or multi-sports for EYFS and KS1, he can do it all and is highly praised by our parents!

Matty has been a valued and trusted coach with South Lakes Sports for over 10 years. He has a passion and enthusiasm for coaching that makes him a fantastic leader in sports. The children absolutely adore his sessions, which are always fun, creative and full of positive energy. I would be happy to recommend Matty as a coach to any organisation.

From Coaches...
I’ve known Matty for many years now and for the last couple of seasons I’ve assisted him in the coaching of the county u15/16 rugby squads. Matty lead the county coaching and did a fantastic job of putting together two squads from teams across Cumbria within a challenging time frame. Both squads performed well and Matty made sure that it was not just competitive but enjoyable and rewarding.
Whether Matty is coaching rugby or fitness he always manages to make it fun , engaging and relevant. My son has been attending his fitness sessions for some time now and has kept at it largely due to Mattys approach .
Whether you play rugby , golf or any sport or even if you are just looking to improve fitness Matty can adapt your session to suit.
The best bit is that the kids enjoy the sessions. I can only speak based on personal experience but my son Ben has got fitter and stronger since starting and doesn’t like to miss a day! That pretty much speaks for itself!
