The Story Behind Become a Champion
Become a Champion was founded in 2017 by Dave Morris. His vision was to make sports accessible to all and use PE and community coaching as his way to improve the health and wellbeing of children and families in Greater Manchester. In 2021 Dave also founded Boxing For Better C.I.C. an award winning social enterprise using boxing to inspire young people and tackle anti social behaviour. Soon after Dave partnered with Aran Hodgkinson, another passionate sports coach who uses tennis to inspire children and adults in our community he began Sphairistrike Tennis helping to improve peoples access to tennis and provide opportunities to children and adults through sport. Together Dave and Aran have over 20 years experience teaching PE in schools across the North West. Their vision is to revolutionise the delivery of PE and school sport by bringing emerging, inclusive and adapted sports to the forefront whilst still providing expert coaching in our most loved and traditional sports. We believe everybody should have the opportunity to enjoy PE, Sports and Physical Activity and will continue on our mission to make Sport accessible and enjoyable for all.
