Meet Shane Wright
Next Move Sport was founded by Shane Wright, an educator and youth development specialist with a passion for helping young people grow in confidence through sport and activity.
Shane has spent many years working with children and young people in both education and sport. Alongside running Next Move Sport, he is also a university lecturer specialising in enterprise and entrepreneurship, where he teaches students about leadership, confidence, and real-world skills.
The camps originally started as small local sessions designed to give children a safe, active, and supportive environment during school holidays. Thanks to the support of families and schools across South Yorkshire, the programmes have grown to welcome hundreds of children each year.
At the heart of everything Next Move Sport does is a simple aim: to create positive experiences where children can stay active, make friends, try new activities, and build confidence in a safe and encouraging environment.
Shane works with a trusted team of qualified staff — many of whom are teachers or experienced coaches — to ensure every session is well organised, inclusive, and fun for every child who attends.
