“My 2 children have been attending Excel Coaching for a good few months and they really enjoy it. Matt, Alan and Sam are all very good coaches — they really take an interest in the kids. The training is always fun and engaging, and even though mine are different ages, they mix the sessions well. I’d recommend Excel to anyone.”

Our current sessions run at Broadoaks in Donnington (Fridays & Saturdays) and Donnington Skate Park (Excel Minis on Mondays), with more locations across Telford coming soon.
