Every time our team grows, we’re so excited and genuinely so proud. As of the start of September, we’ve welcomed our newest full-time school sport educator – Dylan!  

At Ultimate Kids, we believe that our people are at the heart of everything we do. Every coach, every educator, and every member of our team plays a vital role in bringing our mission to life; to ensure that every child has the opportunity to build confidence, develop skills, and discover a genuine love for PE and sport. That’s why we’re so excited to welcome Dylan, the newest full-time member of our team, who joined us at the start of September as a Lead School Sport Educator.

Dylan started his journey at Ultimate Kids over the Summer where he coached on our Ultimate Kids Camps. Through expressing true passion, high energy and professionalism over the Summer, we saw extreme potential for Dylan and knew there was an opportunity for further growth with Ultimate Kids – and we made it happen. Now, as one of our Lead School Sport Educators, he’ll be delivering high-quality PE sessions across schools, inspiring children, and helping us to continue raising the bar for PE and physical literacy.

For Dylan, sport has always been more than just an activity – it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, football sparked his love of being active, and it didn’t take long before he knew exactly what he wanted to do with his future: share that same passion with the next generation. With having a degree in Primary School Education with PE Specialism, Dylan not only has the passion and experience, but also professionalism and knowledge within the industry. During his time at university, Dylan threw himself into plenty of coaching and gained valuable experience working with young people. He has now been coaching for over five years, building a wealth of practical knowledge along the way. Beyond his studies, Dylan also gave back to his community as a coach for a youth football team in Southport, where he developed both his coaching style and his ability to inspire children of all abilities.

What stands out about Dylan is his belief in what sport can do for children. For him, coaching isn’t just about drills or lessons; it’s about creating opportunities for children to thrive. His favourite part of coaching is simple but powerful: “seeing the progression children make through my sessions”. Whether it’s a child mastering a new skill, finding the confidence to join in, or discovering a love for being active, Dylan takes pride in helping children take those steps forward.

At the heart of his coaching philosophy is the belief that every child deserves to enjoy sport, no matter their age, background, or ability. His goal is to make sure sessions are inclusive, engaging, and above all, fun. By creating a positive and supportive environment, Dylan helps children see PE not as a subject to be feared, but as something to look forward to.

We’re thrilled to have Dylan on board and excited to see the impact he’ll make in school halls, on the playground, and within our wider community. His journey, passion, and dedication are exactly what Ultimate Kids is all about – using sport as a tool to empower children and set them up for lifelong confidence in PE.

Please join us in giving Dylan a warm welcome to the Ultimate Kids family and if you see him in your local schools, make sure to give him a wave!
