ABOUT EQUAL PLAY SPORTS

OUR STORY

Founded and launched in South-East London, Equal Play Sports Academy was born in "The Home of Talent" and is built on British Values. What started as a passionate response to the shortage of needs-focused sports clubs across London has grown into a transformative movement that's redefining inclusive sports participation. Equal Play Sports began with a love of football and a clear vision. While football remains at our heart, we recognised that talent knows no limits—and neither should opportunity. This philosophy led us to expand into a comprehensive multi-sports academy, now offering specialised programmes in basketball, cricket, tennis, golf, and motorsports. Our journey has been driven by a simple observation: traditional sports structures often create unintentional barriers for many young people. By tackling these barriers head-on, we've created pathways that not only develop athletic skills but transform lives and communities.
