reimagining staff learning:
Can we just enroll certain sports? Hockey and Football for example.
Yes, you sure can. Pick a package that best suits the number of coaches you have. You can always scale this up in the future.
Can UPskill be used across sports as well as junior and senior?
All our modules are multi sport and support coaches with the HOW to coach skills, not the sports specific WHAT skills which traditional approaches to coach education take.
Modules are designed to engage coaches working across the school sports landscape, XI performance to F team participation.
Sports specific modules and NGB accredited modules will be available in 2026.
I am a brand new Director of Sport and want UPskill to support 85+ coaches, how does this work?
We work with you, your HR Department and Heads of Sport to build to ensure all staff are boarded and promoted through the modules.
Our staff numbers may change, how does impact our package?
You can change your UPskill package as your workforce changes. Simply contact your account manager to help you and we will do the rest.
How long does a school sign up for?
Once you have you signed up, access keys last 12 months. Once you have used all your access keys you can purchase more to top up new staff.
Access keys will auto renew after 12 months to ensure staff keep up to date with brand new content we add and align with the academic term.

SOLVING YOUR BIGGEST ISSUES IN SCHOOL COACHES
Directors of Sport and sports leaders tell me they struggle with:
- Engaging part time staff
- The "good" players who now coach
- The academic staff who coach
- Those stuck in their ways
UPskill is here to change how school sport is coached, supporting coaches to create great sporting experiences intentionally and not by chance.
In all schools its mandatory to complete child safeguarding modules before starting employment, to protect young people. Why should a child's sports experience be any different? UPskill helps your coaches to help students by giving them world class modules of learning every term.
Jack, Founder of The Coaching Lab
