ABOUT SMSC

Our mission is simple: to harness the power of sport to educate, empower, and uplift every child we reach.

 

SMSC is a vibrant, community-driven sports coaching organisation based in Southwest London. We work with over 30 local schools, 40 football teams, 400+ registered players providing PE lessons, exciting extra-curricular clubs, multi-sport coaching (including rugby, hockey and cricket) all delivered by staff with sport-specific qualifications, FA qualifications and DBS certified superstars.

 

Our coaching philosophy and methods are aligned with The FA’s youth development framework - player-centred, age appropriate sessions that maximise ball-rolling time and build confident, creative footballers.

As Merton’s leading provider of the HAF programme and coordinators of the borough’s London Youth Games teams, we support thousands of young people every year. Through grassroots football, elite pathways, and free community programmes, we’re making sport accessible for all.
 

We’re driven by equality, fairness and inclusion. We never discriminate on gender, race or culture. Beyond developing young people as athletes, we focus on helping them grow as people, building confidence, teamwork and communication in a safe, supportive environment.
