Who are Sports Evolution Ltd (Sevo)?

Darren Laver and Daniel Wood in Yeovil, Somerset, England created Sevo back in February 2006. The mission being to create opportunities in and through sport for young people. Within every project that the Sevo team manage, there will always be opportunities for self-expression, development and progression.

Key Philosophies and beliefs of Sevo:

In order to progress as an athlete in any sport, a person must become responsible for his / her own learning, thus becoming less coach dependent. Whilst it is obviously necessary to retain some authority as a coach, a young person will develop rapidly if they are aware of the benefits and are proactive about their training.

Alongside this, we believe in coaching the person as well as the player. The Ball Fusion club culture encourages everyone to work together as friends and teammates.

Central to the culture with Ball Fusion is the environment setting. Every venue will have a controlled environment, with music playing and respect being shown for everyone present, as all participants interact together.

Nobody makes mistakes – they simply find ways that don’t work. Ball Fusion street soccer allows young people to try new things and if something doesn’t come off as planned, they keep trying and adjusting until it does.

With so many external issues facing young people today (home life, school life, peer pressure etc.), it is nearly impossible to coach skill or anything properly, as they are rarely in the right ‘zone’ to receive information and process it effectively. Ball Fusion is freedom of expression for young people and creates a learning environment that is enjoyable and successful. We also encourage goal setting to give young people more direction in life.

Ball Fusion is centred on base fitness for young people. The drills will develop the fundamental movement patterns of balance, rhythm and co-ordination to name a few. The training will increase confidence, creativity and self-belief.
