JULIAN COUSINS SPORTS CAMPS
'THE LONGEST RUNNING SPORTS CAMP ON CLAPHAM COMMON'
Julian Cousins Sports Camps was started to offer fun, progressing sports activities during the school holidays. We have been running successful sports camps at Clapham Common for over 10 years now. Partnering the team is Alberto Kurti, formerly of Oliver House School and now appointed women’s coach at Crystal Palace F.C.
My team of coaches and I offer a range of sports including tennis, football, cricket, rugby, hockey, rounders, volleyball and golf. All activities are scaled for age and abilities. Our staff are qualified sports coaches and local school teachers well experienced working with young children. Simple games and drills to encourage rapid skill development, co-ordination, footwork and teamwork, and most importantly... fun!
We follow the Ofsted guidelines on ratios and all the leaders have current DRS/CRB and safeguarding training. We will follow the Government & Sports Council instructions on Covid-19.
Mini Camp
Here creating a safe fun environment is key and we employ many local school teachers to help this. Our sports coaching programme can help develop their motor skills, team work and understanding of sports.
Junior camp
With this group we start introducing more technical elements of the sports and fun competition. Introducing sport specific vocabulary is a key part of this group.
Senior camp
The older children will develop more advanced technical and tactical elements of the sports involved. We encourage their input to ‘take ownership’ of the sessions which engages them further.
