About the Ball School

 

The Ball School was established in 2005 by the former Spurs and England International, Gary Stevens, and the entrepreneurial Tim Gourmand.

Having met through sport over 20 years ago the time was right to combine their respective talents and expertise. The plan was to develop forward thinking sports programmes to benefit and enhance the well being of today’s youngsters.

A strong belief that ball games offer a great way to develop balance, agility, fitness and health along with hand, eye, foot and body coordination was the main driving force.

The core sport was to be football. With Gary’s vast experience as a junior player, apprentice professional, club professional and England International, along with his UEFA “A” coaching qualification, the decision was made.

 

Working closely with several Youth Football Teams in and around Gary’s home in Kent, a variety of coaching methods and products were developed under Tim’s observation and exacting standards.

The Ball School is already developing similar structures in other ball sports and these will enhance the organisation in the years ahead.

Our mission:
“To encourage the health and well being of young people by developing their sporting talent".
