Kalo Sport is an innovative children’s sports coaching service specialising in community based tennis coaching, school sports teaching, Ofsted registered holiday sports camps and athletic development classes. We operate a 6-day per week junior tennis programme at Waterfall Tennis Club, Southgate as well as school holiday sports camps at Hazelwood Sports Club and Southgate School.
We pride ourselves in ensuring that a safe, fun, and positive educational environment is consistently maintained, to encourage a healthy and enjoyable lifestyle for all children who we work with. The safety and welfare of all children who attend our activities is of paramount importance to us. We keep a valid DBS certificate on file for every staff member and all of our group leading coaches have passed the Introduction to Safeguarding Children course and possess a valid first aid certificate.
We recommend you read our Child Protection Policy as well as Inclusion Policy which have details of our Child and Employee welfare structure and details of our designated Child Protection Officer.
The service we provide prides itself on four key areas:
Facilities
The outstanding on-site facilities we use provide an ideal setting for children and staff to be safe, have fun and to excel. Our bases at the exceptional private clubs of Waterfall Tennis Club (Southgate) and Hazelwood Sports Club (Winchmore Hill), North London hosts both indoor and outdoor tennis courts, sports halls, sports fields, state of the art changing/toilet facilities and safe & secure clubhouses.
Staff
Our coaching team is comprised of highly knowledgeable and qualified sports coaches who possess considerable experience working with children of all ages and abilities. The safety of your child is our main priority and we ensure that all of our coaches have a valid enhanced DBS certificate on file and that a certified first aider is always on site. Our staff all possess at least a minimum level 2 qualification in the sport they specialise in with most even higher and all lead coaches are trained in Child Safeguarding. We regularly invest in the enrolment of our staff in coaching courses throughout the year and hold regular team meetings to ensure our coaches are prepared to deliver the best service.
Culture
Enhanced learning occurs when we are placed within a positive teaching environment. Kalo Sport places a heavy emphasis in ensuring that we create a fun and sporting atmosphere for children whilst promoting an environment in which they are motivated and inspired to learn.
Structure
All of our coaching sessions and camps are structured to ensure constant development. We aim to blend instructive and dynamic technical practices with stimulating and enjoyable game-based coaching and mini-tournament play, which is suited to your child’s relevant age and ability. We are very strict with ratios and age appropriate coaching groups. All children who attend our tennis programme are assessed and receive a personal progress report twice per year.
