Meet Madz
Coach, chief fun officer, and the reason hundreds of North London kids can't wait for their class.
The story
Madz has been coaching children for more than 15 years. She started with one of the UK's biggest children's sports franchises, where she became their most successful franchisee, before setting up Mad4Sports in 2017 to do things her own way: more creativity, more fun, and a proper focus on the whole child rather than just the sport.
Her way works. Classes fill up term after term through word of mouth alone. Kids give her nicknames. Parents write to say their child cried at missing a session. And every week, somewhere in North London, a child who "wasn't sporty" catches a ball, wins the weekly trophy, and decides they might be after all.
The Mad4Sports way
Effort over results.
Children are praised in abundance for trying, because that's what builds the confidence to keep trying.
Creativity everywhere.
Spider-Man throws. Shark Attack. Romans and Vikings. If a game makes a skill fun, it's in the lesson plan.
Life skills, on purpose.
We build 16 of them, from concentration and courage to independence and sportsmanship. Parents tell us they see the difference at home and at school.
Small classes.
Capped at 12, grouped by age and ability, so nobody gets lost in the crowd.
The team
Behind the scenes, Lisa and Lauren keep everything running, from bookings and waiting lists to making sure your emails get answered fast. (Katie again: "Lisa got back to me so quickly about dates and times.")
