Why families choose Phoenix

We looked at every club nearby. Most hide the basics. We publish them.

Across the clubs we looked at locally, safeguarding info is often buried or missing, fees are rarely published, and football and rugby always sit in separate clubs. Phoenix is built the other way round.

Pricing, upfront

No "enquire for fees." You'll see session costs and what's included before you ever pick up the phone.

Football and rugby, one club

Most local clubs cover one sport. Phoenix is built as a multi-sport academy from day one — with cricket and athletics to follow.

Safeguarding, front and centre

Our Safeguarding and Code of Conduct information lives in the main menu, not a buried PDF — matching the standard set by 3-Star Accredited clubs.

Funded places, clearly signposted

Where subsidised or funded spots are available, we'll say so plainly — not leave families to ask around.

Trust & safety

Safeguarding isn't a PDF you have to hunt for.

Every coach at Phoenix is DBS-checked and works to our published Code of Conduct and Safeguarding Policy — the same standard set by the sports governing body and Accredited clubs.
