We can help children to
love being active

Children are less active than they were 20 years ago. It’s a fact.

As a nation, we have some of the worst child obesity in the western world. 1 in 3 children now leave primary school overweight or obese.

Plus, 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 4 boys don’t do any sport outside of school.

Yet, there is so much research that active kids do better:

Better academic performance. Better behaviour. Better health. Better lives.

Our mission is to cheerlead all the benefits of being active and reverse the decline of physical activity by working with schools and in our local community to not only provide opportunities but help children to enjoy being active.

HERE'S WHAT OUR
CUSTOMERS
SAY...

“My 2 youngest daughters thoroughly enjoyed themselves at Picknals. I’ve used Progressive Sports for my eldest daughter for years. Always consistently good, easy to book, really friendly staff. Always happy to leave my girls in the knowledge that they are well cared for and also have a great time.”

Vicky Warrilow Parent of child attending one of our Holiday Courses

“My boys have just done 3 weeks over the summer and they have LOVED it!! They are 11 and 9. They look forward to going every day and I’ve never had to argue with them in the morning because they love going. Makes my life easier as a working mommy. The activities are different daily and also weekly. All of the coaches are fab and you can tell they love being around the children. Like knowing that my boys are active all summer and meeting new friends their own age. Defo recommend!!”

Xana Morris Parent of childing attending one of our Holiday Courses

“Since signing up to the SUPERCOACH Programme our school has been supported in creating a clear focus for developing a sports programme which will impact on the sporting and academic successes of all the children, regardless of ability.”

Helen Barron Headteacher at Princefield First School

“With 3 little ones (6,5 and 4) we find a holiday club suitable for all of their interests and ages a challenge, however we cannot recommend Progressive Sports highly enough, the coaches are a true credit to the company and are always enthusiastic and have dealt with some of the challenging behaviour they have been presented with from our little ones. We will definitely be booking again, thank you to everyone involved.”
