Our story · Since 2013
Born from alove of sport.
Established in 2013 by Erika Peres — and formerly known as Erika Peres Soccer and Erika Peres Swimming — EPS Sports Academy gives children sport that's built for their age, their stage and their smile.

“Our aspiration is to be the gold standard for sports programmes in the country.”
— EPS Sports AcademyEPS was born out of a simple vision: age-appropriate sports programmes that combine fun and play with the principles of child development.
Today we're a family-centric academy running football and swimming from babies right through to teenagers, plus action-packed holiday camps. All our programmes share a common core curriculum, designed around child development and physical ability and continually updated with input from sporting experts and experienced coaches.
Each stage builds on the last with new skills and challenges — so children keep growing, and keep loving it.
