Children today are moving less, joining sport later, and losing confidence earlier.
At Aspire to Greatness, we believe every child deserves the chance to build physical confidence and joy in movement.
Our coaching focuses on fundamental athletic skills — running, jumping, throwing, balance and coordination — the foundations that help children grow strong, confident, and ready for life.
Building Confidence Through Movement
Many children are missing the chance to learn the fundamental movement skills — running, jumping and throwing — that form the foundation for every sport and lifelong physical confidence.
We create positive, encouraging coaching environments where children build movement skill, strength and confidence — and discover a love of being active.
Schools
We support schools to build strong, confident and active children through high-quality athletic development.
Our before-school, lunchtime and after-school clubs are designed to improve fitness, coordination and wellbeing — all in a fun, inclusive environment.
We also offer curriculum PE support, teacher CPD, whole-school wellbeing days and pathways into club athletics and local competition for children who want to progress.
Every child deserves the chance to run, jump, throw, play and grow.

About Us
Aspire Athletics exists to inspire children to move with confidence, develop physical strength and coordination, and build a lifelong love of sport.
Founded and led by Kate Staples MBE, former British pole-vault record holder and TV Gladiator “Zodiac,” Aspire has been delivering high-quality athletics programmes in schools and communities for over 18 years. Kate and her team of highly skilled, qualified coaches focus on grassroots development, ensuring every child – from beginner to emerging athlete – has the opportunity to grow, progress, and achieve their potential.
We are proud to work in partnership with Daley Thompson CBE, double Olympic Champion and athletics icon, who supports our mission to nurture the next generation and widen access to athletic development across the UK.
Our programmes are inclusive, enjoyable, and designed so every child experiences success. For children who show enthusiasm or talent, we offer clear pathways into club environments, squads, and local competitions, allowing them to develop further at their own pace.
Together, we believe that every child deserves the chance to run, jump, throw, play, and discover who they can become.
Stronger bodies. Confident minds. A pathway for life.
