More Than Football

More opportunities to learn, grow and thrive.

Rondo Academy has evolved from HS Football Coaching into something bigger.

Football remains at the heart of what we do, but our purpose has never been simply to create better footballers.

We want children to build confidence, make friends, develop new skills and discover how enjoyable sport can be.

From weekly football sessions and advanced player development to holiday camps, birthday parties and sports provision in schools, Rondo Academy is creating more ways for children to get involved.

  • Family Focused
  • Inclusive for All
  • High Quality Coaching
  • Safe, Fun & Supportive

More Than Football

Same values. More opportunities.

Rondo Academy may have a new name, but the way we work with children hasn’t changed.

We still believe great coaching should be positive, inclusive, encouraging and enjoyable. Every child should feel welcome, supported and able to develop at their own pace — whether they’re taking their first steps into sport or looking for a greater challenge.

What has changed is the number of opportunities we can offer. Rondo Academy gives children more ways to play, learn, build confidence and stay active, all within the same friendly environment families have come to know and trust.

Our son absolutely loves coming to Sunday Morning Football with Coach Harley and Coach Nicola! They were so welcoming and helped him to settle right in. Today he attended his very first holiday club and we chose HS Coaching because of how great they are with the kids! Our boy has had such a great day - and his yawns tell us that he is ready for an early night after all the fun today!! Thank you so much to you both for your hard work and enthusiasm!
Katie WoodParent
Both my children (4 & 5) attend the Sunday coaching sessions and have a great time. Coach Harley & Coach Nikola engage the kids in the sessions from the start with lots of encouragement and fun and ensure everyone is involved. My Son can struggle with his confidence at times and Coach Nikola has been great at ensuring he feels included in the sessions and takes time to support him when he needs a bit more encouragement. Sessions are a great price and value for money. Would definitely recommend

Coach Harley's sessions are the highlight of Jenson's week, he always has the best time! Whether the Sunday morning group, holiday camps or the development sessions, they're always great fun and the kids get to learn so many new skills. Harley is super energetic and creates a brilliant atmosphere, l can't recommend enough.
Faye UnderwoodParent
Harley did our son's 7th birthday party, which he loved. 25 boys were kept engaged and excited! He now attends some Sunday morning training sessions (additionally to training and playing with his team), and he enjoys these just as much. Highly recommend!

My son's first time at harleys football camp today! He really really enjoyed it! First time he's done anything like this on his own and has asked as soon as I picked him up when he can go again. I know Harley from his previous football role and I've seen how good he is with the kids, they all love him! Will be signing up for the next summer camp! Thank you Harley! X

Coach Harley hosted my sons 7th birthday over the weekend and it was just amazing from start to finish. Matthew has known Coach Harley from his earlier coaching days and we came across him again when he started doing holiday clubs at @hsfootballcoaching and Matthew knew straight away he wanted Harley to do his upcoming birthday. He is just so amazing with the children and all the other parents made such positive comments too. Coach Harley makes the birthday person feel special and definitely goes the extra mile. He was answered any of questions quickly and always got better.
