Coach Core announces partnership with Surridge Sport
Surridge Sport will be partnering with Coach Core Foundation to help support our coaching apprentices across the UK.

This collaboration will see Surridge Sport become the official kit supplier for Coach Core’s apprenticeship programme, which focuses on developing the talents of 16-24 year olds who traditionally may experience barriers, discrimination, and lack of opportunities.
Coach Core delivers an inclusive and impactful sports coaching apprenticeship that develops the talents of young people and provides them with a range of vital skills for sport, work and life. Through this partnership, Surridge Sport will supply all apprentices and coaches with high-quality kit to perform their day-to-day duties as apprentices.
Danny Vilia, Sales Director at Surridge Sport, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership:
We are delighted to support Coach Core's remarkable work in creating opportunities for young people through sport. It's a great initiative and inspiring what some have achieved. At Surridge Sport, we believe in the power of quality sportswear to build confidence and pride, and we're honoured to outfit these dedicated young coaches as they develop skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
Lawrence Uttley, Workforce, Skills & Apprenticeship Manager at Coach Core, commented on the decision to partner with Surridge Sport:
We chose Surridge Sport because our values aligned perfectly. We are all about partnership working at Coach Core and we wanted to ensure this was a partnership in every sense. We can trust Surridge Sport to provide great quality kit that our apprentices can wear with pride as they represent Coach Core in communities across the country. The heritage and reliability of Surridge Sport, combined with their commitment to excellence, makes them the ideal partner for our organisation as we work to create meaningful opportunities for young people through the power of sport.
This partnership reflects Surridge Sport’s commitment to supporting grassroots sports development and community initiatives, while continuing to provide premium quality sportswear that inspires confidence and performance.
Both organisations look forward to a productive relationship that will benefit young sports coaches and the communities they serve throughout the UK.
