MOVE HQ IN THE COMMUNITY
The years preceding the opening of Move HQ produced many ambitious and creative discussions between founders Mark Munroe & Nedum Onuoha. One of many constants throughout those developing ideas was the necessity to interact in a meaningful way with the local community.
Both Mark and Nedum strongly feel that the responsibility to ‘give back’ and provide opportunities for young people was a pivotal factor not be squandered.
MOVE HQ ELITE
Supporting local talent, creating a culture and an identity to give a platform for aspiring young sportspeople. That’s Move HQ Elite, our Athletic Development programme. Every September since opening we’ve hosted a talent identification day where we invite all local young people still engaged full time with their education. Throughout selection they jump, race, sprint and play games to show us that they have the necessary credentials to join the programme. We offer 36 places to boys and girls in Year 7-12 and they receive 12 months of free S&C support. Our cohort have one coached session every week and additional open sessions to undertake their training programmes. To supplement this we also provide performance testing, educational workshops and inspirational talks. We have helped our young stars of the future develop and there have been a succession of achievements at local, regional and national level. We look forward to seeing our athletes on podiums and raising trophies in the years ahead at national and international level.
SCHOOLS
Mark has gained a huge amount of experience in the education sector both in the UK and overseas. He has used his expertise to assist with local school facility development and consulted on athletic development programmes and sports provision at a growing number of schools across the south east. This enthusiasm for school sport and athletic development has seen the formation of some very productive relationships with schools in the Thames Valley area. Move HQ plan and deliver Athletic Development programmes for Sports Scholars at several schools and support PE and Sport related course delivery through a range of practical and theoretical workshops delivered at Move HQ.

The provision of Sport Science support and Strength & Conditioning is proving undeniably popular with our local sports teams. Performance testing and monitoring, team S&C sessions, injury rehabilitation are just a selection of services sports clubs choose Move HQ. We’ve hosted international sports teams, top tier squads through to our local junior teams from vast array of sports.
