Children taking part in a Mad4Sports multi-sports class in North London

Weekly classes kids count down to

Term-time multi-sports classes across North London, from first steps to Year 6.

Every member of staff working with children holds a current Enhanced DBS certificate. More on how we keep children safe.

How our classes work

Classes run Monday to Thursday through the school term, with children of similar age and ability, so every child gets real attention and progresses at their own pace.

Each week we focus on a different sport from our list of ten: football, rugby, tennis, basketball, baseball, hockey, handball, volleyball, cricket and dodgeball. Your child learns the skills, rules and positions properly, through creative games rather than drills. It's the reason a five-year-old here can tell you what Code Breaker is, and also the reason they can catch.

Fees are payable termly. Within the academic year, which runs from September to July, your child is automatically re-enrolled in the same class each term so you never lose your place. At the start of each new academic year, everyone needs to enrol again. If you miss a session through illness you're welcome at a make-up class.

Age groups

Pre-Schoolers Stage 1 (18 months to 2.5 years)

The very first step. Using mini Swiss balls and specialist equipment, this introductory class develops core stability, hand-eye coordination, rhythm and foundational gross motor skills, with a parent alongside and a huge amount of fun in the process.

Pre-Schoolers Stage 2 (2.5 to 3.5 years)

A warm, caring introduction to real sports participation. Basic ball skills in a structured environment, taught through creative games that make children learn fast without noticing they're learning at all.

Pre-Schoolers Stage 3 (3 to 4 years)

For children starting Reception the coming September. Builds the foundation for full ball-sports development, with more structure, more challenge and just as much silliness.

School Years Reception to Year 6

Full multi-sports coaching across all ten sports, one sport in focus each week, with an emphasis on teamwork, effort and the life skills that go far beyond the sports hall. We also run classes inside several North London schools for their pupils, including after-school clubs at Akiva School, Eden Primary, Woodridge Primary and Wolfson Hillel.

Timetable and booking

Classes are priced per term (from £99 for pre-schoolers). Most of our classes are currently full. Join the waiting list and we'll be in touch as soon as a place becomes available.

What parents say about our classes

"When she started she was not especially physical... Fast forward 3 years and we have a football crazy, gymnastics loving, tree climbing girl who has loved Mad for Sports. I really think you helped her get moving."
- Bronya
"Thank you for building confidence around sport. She will often bounce and kick a ball around at home... She previously was so nervous and reluctant to join any sport at all."
- Nadia
"He even won a trophy for hockey three weeks ago, and he loves how funny Madz is."

"Girls absolutely love your club!!! They are always excited about Thursdays because of you."
