About Akuma Rugby

Akuma Sports is a family business, based in Kenilworth, Warwickshire and set up by three brothers, Warwick, Daniel and Thomas Aldersley and later joined by their Aunt, Polly Pithers who heads up Operations.

The rationale for setting up Akuma Sports was based on personal experiences of organising and purchasing kit for many years for a Touring Rugby Team. The experience irrespective of the brand, was always one of great disappointment especially when the kit arrived all too late for its purpose.

So why buy Akuma Sports? Check out the reasons below.

Our Commitment

This is our commitment to you:

• You will be assigned a dedicated Account Manager and a Production Manager
• We will provide you with innovative designs ensuring that your brand identity and club history is adhered to.
• We will help you select the shirt style that is right for your teams from junior level to the 1st team.
• We actively encourage sizing sessions so that players get a feel for the shirt and ensure that they are ordering the correct size at a time when is convenient for you.
• You can mix and match styles to suit players and abilities.
• We will turn your kit from an order into a delivery inside 3 weeks! This includes shirt additions that you may have for new players.
• On delivery, you will find that each shirt and kit bundles are individually wrapped, named and organised in their teams making it easier to check off and distribute.
• We won't commit you to a 3 year contract; we will believe that if we provide you with excellent service, quality products and brand continuity for your club then why would you go anywhere else?

We don't just promise, we deliver!
