01
Clear before commitment
A serious decision begins with the full commitment: current timetable, compulsory attendance, assessment expectations, fee and availability.
About SSTA
Practical confidence, built responsibly.
Serious Sports Training Academy helps learners understand the work, practise it under observation and see the full commitment before they decide whether to apply.
Why the academy exists
Because practical work deserves more than a demonstration
SSTA was founded by Faz, whose background spans sports massage, personal training and boxing coaching. The academy grew from a straightforward belief: practical confidence needs time, repetition and direct feedback.
The academy now trains from Chichester Racquets & Fitness Club. For Level 3 Sports Massage, teaching takes place in a group capped at 10 learners, with the current delivery timetable and compulsory attendance confirmed before enrolment.
That belief also shapes how SSTA describes its courses: publish what is known, identify what still needs confirming and give prospective learners room to decide without pressure.
How we work
Three standards behind every learner decision
They shape both the training experience and the way SSTA communicates before enrolment.
02
Practice that can be observed
Tutor demonstration, supervised repetition, direct feedback and complete client scenarios connect theory to work that can be seen and refined.
03
Responsible next steps
A qualification can provide a professional foundation. It cannot promise employment, clients or income, so progression is discussed without overclaiming it.
