Welcome to Excelsior

At Excelsior, we put the person first and the sport second.
We help people from many backgrounds fulfill their potential through a supportive, structured, and enjoyable process. This could mean a young person wanting to improve their agility for sport, a teenager learning weightlifting, or an adult aiming to compete at the next level.

Young people love to make friends and try new things. Our club sessions are run in small groups, where members support and encourage one another while improving and learning.

Head Coach James Marshall has over 30 years of coaching experience, working with everyone from six-year-olds starting their journey to junior international competitors, as well as a dozen Olympians and Paralympians.

James has a unique blend of practice and theory: he has competed in World Championships in two different sports (Shotokan Karate and Masters Weightlifting), holds an MSc in Sports Coaching, is a Level 3 weightlifting coach, and a Level 2 athletics and gymnastics coach.
