Local Coach with 15 Years’ Experience Brings High-Quality Football Sessions to the Community
Families in Tadley and Newbury now have a new opportunity to get their children active, learning, and having fun at the weekends. Experienced coach Jack White has launched his own DMG Sports Academy franchise, offering Toddler Football Classes in Tadley and Newbury as well as structured Kids Football Classes designed to help children build confidence, skills, and friendships.
Jack brings with him more than 15 years of sports coaching experience across schools, nurseries, and community programmes. He has worked with children as young as 15 months through to their teenage years, and is passionate about using sport to support children’s cognitive, motor, and social development.
Now, with his DMG Sports Academy, Jack is stepping into entrepreneurship — blending his coaching expertise with a trusted national brand to bring inclusive, child-centred football programmes to families in North Hampshire and West Berkshire.
“I’ve always believed sport is more than just physical activity,” Jack explains. “It’s about teamwork, confidence, and resilience. By launching our Toddler and Kids Football Classes in Tadley and Newbury, I want to give local families the chance to see how football can bring joy, connection, and growth for their children.”

Jack’s franchise is currently running across two weekend venues:

- Structured, consistent football lessons that develop motor skills, coordination, and teamwork

Jack explains why he chose the DMG brand: “As a coach, I wanted to partner with a team that values quality, inclusivity, and psychology-led learning. DMG gives me the tools, training, and support to deliver the very best Toddler and Kids Football Classes in Tadley and Newbury. Their franchisor team has been fantastic — it feels like I’m building my own legacy while still being part of something bigger.

Football as a Tool for Growth
For Jack and his coaching team, football is not just about goals and games. It’s about building well-rounded children:
- Toddlers develop curiosity, movement, and early coordination with parents involved
- Ballers begin learning ball control, balance, and simple teamwork activities
- Shooters take on more structured skills, small-sided games, and decision-making challenges
“Every child leaves with a smile,” one of Jack’s coaches says. “We’ve seen shy toddlers gradually grow in confidence, and older children starting to show teamwork and leadership. That’s why we love what we do.”
A Personal Mission: Family and Legacy
Jack’s decision to launch his DMG Sports Academy is deeply personal. With a young family of his own, he wanted to create a business that reflects his values and allows him to balance professional passion with quality time at home.
“This franchise is about building a legacy,” Jack explains. “I want my children to grow up seeing how sport can bring people together and change lives. Running these football classes allows me to share my passion with the community while still being present with my own family.”
A Sports Coaching Franchise with a Difference
Jack’s story also highlights the growing appeal of the sports franchise opportunity with DMG. For individuals passionate about coaching, teaching, or sport, the DMG Sports Coaching Franchise offers a proven model that combines brand support with entrepreneurial independence.
With training, curriculum design, and marketing assistance provided by the franchisor, new franchisees like Jack can focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality, inclusive sessions to children.
Jack’s journey shows how a sports coaching franchise can be both a business opportunity and a chance to make a real impact in local communities.
Building Community in Tadley and Newbury
Jack envisions his Toddler and Kids Football Classes in Tadley and Newbury as more than just weekly sessions. He wants them to become hubs of community activity:
- Parents connecting and making new friends
- Children building confidence and developing a love of sport
- Families enjoying shared time together away from screens
“Football is a universal language,” Jack says. “It doesn’t matter where you come from or what level you’re at — it brings people together. That’s what I want to see in Tadley and Newbury: children laughing, families connecting, and communities growing stronger.”
Looking to the Future
For now, Jack is focused on growing his weekend classes, ensuring every child has a positive experience and every family feels welcomed. But he also has ambitious long-term goals:
- Expanding into holiday camps and after-school football clubs
- Hosting community football festivals for families in Tadley and Newbury
- Growing his franchise presence across the region in future years
The emphasis, however, will always remain the same: inclusive, child-centred football coaching that benefits both children and the wider community.
