Welcome to Greenhouse Sports
A place where sport, support, and opportunity come together for YOU.
At Greenhouse Sports, we believe every young person deserves a fair chance to shine – no matter where you come from or what challenges you face. We use the power of sport and trusted coach‑mentors to help you grow, feel confident, and build the future you want.
What Greenhouse Sports is all about
Greenhouse Sports runs programmes in schools and through our community centre led by full‑time Coach‑Mentors. They’re more than coaches; they’re positive, supportive role models who show up for you every day. They’re here to help you with:
- Building confidence
- Staying motivated in school
- Developing teamwork, leadership, and life skills
- Improving your physical and mental wellbeing
Whether you love sport already or want to try something new, this is a place where you belong.
What you’ll get when you join
1. Sport Every Day
Our coaches run regular, high‑quality sessions right in your school and at our centre. If you’re joining through a school, your coach can tell you about all the sessions available to you before, during, and after school. You can also find all the information in our Greenhouse Connect Player App.
2. A Coach Who Believes in You
Your Coach‑Mentor is someone who listens, supports you, and helps you grow both on and off the court. Many young people say their coach has helped them become a stronger, better version of themselves.
3. A Team for Life
When you join, you’re part of a community – your coach, your teammates, other young people across the country. People who show up, stick around, and don’t give up on you.
4. Skills That Help in Sport, School (and Life!)
Through sport, you’ll build social, thinking, emotional, and physical skills, the things that help you perform well in your sport and also:
– stay focused in class
– work well with others
– feel more confident
– deal with challenges in healthy ways
5. A Safe Space to Be Yourself
Whether at school or at the Greenhouse Centre, you’ll find a welcoming place to train, try new things, meet new people, and feel part of something positive.

Life can be tough – especially when you’re facing extra challenges. But Greenhouse Sports can help you build:
– self‑belief

If you have any concerns
If you have any concerns related to a Greenhouse Sports Programme, please speak to your coach-mentor. If you do not feel comfortable speaking to them, then please speak to a member of your school staff or another staff member at the Greenhouse Centre.
Talking to your parents is also important – there is a lot of information for them on our website if there is a concern that you or they want to raise.
Ensuring you have safe and enjoyable experiences on the programme is our absolute priority. We want to know if anything is making you uncomfortable so we can address it right away.
