IGNITING CHILDREN'S
PASSION FOR SPORT
About Us
Rackets Academy is part of the Little Rackets family.
With over 15 years in the industry, teaching sports in schools, nurseries and holiday camps, we have a wide range of knowledge in how to create engaging and enriching children’s sports programmes.
Our Mission
At Rackets Academy, our aim is to ignite children's passion for sport and help them to develop fundamental sporting skills which they can build upon.
We want to ensure that sports are inclusive to all children, of any ability, and take great pride in helping each individual child to achieve their personal goals and celebrate all of their improvements.
​
Our camps are not only designed to better children's sporting skills, but to build on children's confidence, teamwork and social skills and most importantly, having lots of fun!
Company Director
& Head Coach - Harry Phillips
After 15 years of coaching professionally, I decided to put all my knowledge and experience into creating sports coaching camps to build children's skills, technique, teamwork and love for sports.
Sport has always been my passion. From growing up in South London and playing sports at Dulwich College, to getting a sports scholarship to Millfield School, where I played and competed in the sports I loved most. I have always had a desire to offer a unique experience of coaching to children, to help give them the drive and love for their sport.
Little Rackets
Our sister company Little Rackets is an established tennis coaching company bringing fun, games and valuable hand-eye coordination skills to younger children, from ages 2+, across South London.
​
Little Rackets teaches in 30+ nurseries and schools, as well as running their own group tennis coaching classes for ages 3-8 yrs and multi-sports holiday camps for 3-7 yrs.
​
Little Rackets run their multi-sports holiday camps at Dulwich Village Infants School, which is directly opposite Griffins Sports Club. This gives parents, also with younger children, the option to send them to a nearby camp with a similar programme, tailored to developing children's gross motor skills and hand eye coordination, alongside extending children’s confidence and concentration.
