About Next Level Sports Development
Our Mission
Next Level Sports Development was founded by Liam Mullan, a passionate and highly experienced coach with over 18 years of dedication to developing young athletes. With a degree in Sports Coaching Science and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in Physical Education, Liam brings both academic knowledge and real-world expertise to every session.
At Next Level Sports Development, we believe in the power of sport to shape confident, resilient, and well-rounded individuals. Our programs are built not only to develop physical skills and sporting ability but also to promote teamwork, discipline, and a positive mindset—on and off the pitch.
Liam’s deep-rooted passion for sport and education drives our mission: to provide every child with the opportunity to reach their full potential through high-quality coaching, structured learning, and a fun, inclusive environment.

Our Philosophy
Our approach to coaching is centred around a games-based philosophy, where learning through play is key. We believe that children develop best when they are actively involved, discovering new skills in a supportive and engaging environment.
In our sessions, we encourage children to take risks, make mistakes, and learn through experience: this not only builds skill but also confidence and independence. We don’t believe in overloading children with excessive instruction. Instead, we focus on keeping them on task, in the game, and touching the ball as much as possible to maximise both development and enjoyment.
At Next Level Sports Development, we’re here to guide your child’s game to the next level, one play at a time.
