Elite Sport

What Elite Sport does

Elite Sport (legal entity 2015 CENTRO DE FORMACION ELITE SPORT SL) is a privately held Spanish vocational training center founded in 2015 and headquartered in Pobla de Farnals (Valencia), operating three physical campuses in Valencia city, Algemesí, and Alicante. The company delivers officially accredited sports technician certification programs across four disciplines — football, futsal, basketball, and handball — at multiple levels (Nivel I, II, and where applicable III), leading to Técnico Deportivo de Grado Medio and Superior titles recognized by the Generalitat Valenciana, Consejo Superior de Deportes, and the Ministry of Education. Course tuition ranges from €620 to €1,150, is VAT-exempt under Article 20 of Law 37/1992, and is offered in both single-payment and installment formats.

The core technology stack is a semi-presential training model that pairs in-person practical instruction at partner clubs with an online virtual classroom (Aula Virtual) hosting the theoretical curriculum. The platform layer is modest: a website with online enrollment, a virtual classroom for coursework, and the Bolsa de Entrenadores job board that connects certified graduates with hiring sports clubs. Courses carry significant instructional hours — 380h (handball L1) up to 875h (football L3) — and the model monetizes through course tuition, certificate processing fees, and ancillary professional services to partner clubs. Practical training is delivered via real placements at a network of more than 60 partner clubs, including a flagship strategic alliance with La Liga side Levante UD (joined the Club de Empresas in March 2025).

Elite Sport's go-to-market is sales-led and regionally focused within the Comunidad Valenciana, supplemented by digital channels (website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) and a referral engine built on the partner club network. The customer base consists primarily of individual aspiring coaches seeking credentialed qualifications (the Bolsa de Entrenadores operates as the conversion path to employment) and sports clubs seeking trained staff and continuing education for their existing coaches. International student acquisition has begun via partnerships with Academia ProTalents and Escuela Fútbol Prueba, and a 2025 international campus collaboration with Toquero Sport hosted a first London cohort. The company is founder/owner-operated with director Pablo Jiménez publicly leading the program; headcount is 1-10 and no external funding has been disclosed.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• INEFC (Institut Nacional d'Educació Física de Catalunya): Catalonia's public institute for physical education and sports training, providing official coaching and physical education credentials; comparable because it offers recognized sports coaching pathways in a single autonomous community, mirroring Elite Sport's regional model.

Broad incumbents

• Cesur (Formación Profesional): Large private vocational training group in Spain with multi-region operations and a wide range of official FP titles; comparable as a broader incumbent that could easily expand into sports coaching certification and challenge Elite Sport's niche.
• CampusFP: Network of vocational training centers in Spain offering official FP qualifications across multiple disciplines; relevant as a broader incumbent in vocational education that could enter sports coaching certification as an adjacent vertical.

Direct peers

• CEFER (Centro de Entrenadores de la Real Federación Española de Fútbol): Official coaching school of the Spanish Football Federation issuing Técnico Deportivo titles; competes for the same official football coach certification candidates that Elite Sport serves, and is the most authoritative reference point in the market.
• Federación Española de Baloncesto — Programas de Formación: Spanish Basketball Federation runs official coach training programs (Nivel I, II, III) issuing recognized titles; directly comparable because it issues the same kind of official basketball coaching credentials Elite Sport offers and competes for the same candidates.
• Real Federación Española de Balonmano — Escuela de Entrenadores: Spanish Handball Federation's official coach training school; directly comparable as the issuer of official handball coaching titles competing with Elite Sport's handball Nivel I offering.

Emerging players

• Toquero Sport: International sports training organization that partnered with Elite Sport in April 2025 to coordinate international campuses; operates in the same coaching education and player development space and represents both a partner and adjacent peer.
• ACATEC: Academy that brings international players into Europe and collaborates with Elite Sport on coach training; comparable because it sits in the intersection of sports training, certification, and player development serving a similar coach and athlete audience.
