Sarah Down

Level 2 Coach

Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve been coaching judo to children for over 10 years, helping them build confidence, discipline, coordination, and a love for the sport. As a former junior athlete and 5-time national medallist who represented Great Britain, I understand what it takes to develop both skill and self-belief.

At Phoenix Sparks, I focus on fun, engaging sessions where every child can learn, improve, and make lasting friendships. Fun fact: when I’m not on the mat, I’m a part-time dog sitter! I look forward to welcoming your child—book a free session today and start their judo journey!
