Community Advantages are a Sports Coaching organization. We specialise in football but we also have extensive experience coaching in a variety of other sports. We are working with over 500 children on a weekly basis.

Sport has a different meaning to different children. Children have varied levels of natural ability and competitiveness. Children partake in sport for different reasons and gain from participation in sport in different ways. We understand this, and, always attempt to provide a sporting service that meets the needs of every participating child.

The importance of children participating in sport from a young age is becoming more and more vital in today’s society. There has been a huge rise in the availability and advertising of fast food and there has been a huge increase in the number of households with games consoles and cable/satellite TV. This is a lethal combination that is contributing to making the next generation of our society overweight, under active and unhealthy. Community Advantages is providing a service in an attempt to counter these problems now and in the future. However, sport goes beyond health, fitness and exercise. Community Advantages are always looking to help their sporting participants to develop and increase their social networking skills and to make new friends.

Our idea is that the primary focus of any sporting game should be fun for every participant, inclusion for every participant and equality between all participants, regardless of natural ability. Children who are coached by Community Advantages are educated in the importance of being part of a team, being a good sports person, playing fair and truthfully, and of positive communication with all other participants. We believe it is more important to learn, develop and improve as sports people than it is to win.
