Everything You Need Under One Roof
Our Story
R-KIX Performance Centre’s journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to provide professional-style coaching to young players. What started as coaching sessions on Wednesday afternoons has now blossomed into a state-of-the-art sporting complex in the heart of Rochdale
Our founder, Rich Tracz, recognized a gap in the market for more professional coaching styles and a comprehensive sporting facility that could help individuals of all ages and abilities reach their fitness and athletic potential
This insight, combined with Rich’s passion for youth football development, laid the foundation for what R-KIX has become today.
Evolution of R-KIX
From Grassroots to Professional Academies As we worked with local players, grassroots teams, and schools, our reputation grew. Soon, we found ourselves collaborating with some of the biggest professional academies in the world
This experience allowed us to refine our coaching methods and understand the needs of athletes at all levels. Expanding Our Vision Recognizing the need for a more holistic approach to fitness and sports development, we expanded our vision. The result is the R-KIX Performance Centre, a space that caters to athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking to improve their physical well-being
