What 5Sport Ltd does

5Sport Ltd is a UK-based sports coaching and physical education provider headquartered at 5Sport Park in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. The company operates a physical venue with five specialist sports zones and delivers a multi-product youth sports portfolio spanning toddler to under-16 programming: weekly clubs (including Tots Football/Rugby, Multi-Sport Mondays, and U16 Performance Academies), school holiday camps (Kirklees Holiday Camps running every half-term and Easter/Summer/Winter breaks offering 25+ sports and activities per week), bespoke children's birthday parties, and direct school partnerships delivering curriculum PE, PPA cover, breakfast/after-school clubs, staff CPD, festivals, and assessment & reporting. A digital extension, Virtual Online P.E. Lessons, broadens the school's reach beyond the local geography.

The business is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grassroots Sports Academy, a Yorkshire-wide youth sport and physical education organisation that the company states delivers over 200 hours of activity per week and reaches more than 3,000 children through schools and community programmes. 5Sport functions as the venue-anchored operating arm of that wider academy, with the Grassroots brand co-present on its site and marketing channels.

Commercially, 5Sport earns revenue through unit-priced pay-as-you-go bookings (party packages at £175 for up to 15 guests and £250 for up to 30 guests, with optional hot or cold buffet add-ons at £3.50 per head), direct consumer bookings via its website and phone, and direct school contracts for PE delivery and enrichment (pricing not publicly disclosed). Go-to-market relies on organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X), its website with online booking, and direct sales to schools. The company is privately held and family-led, with Christopher Newton as Managing Director and Angela Newton as Operations Director alongside a Director of PE, Head of PE Provisions, PE educators, and a Facilities Manager. No venture or growth capital has been disclosed.
