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...

“Our partnership with Progressive Sports has ensured our use of Sports Premium has a direct impact on both staff and children and is sustainable with our long-term future in mind.”

Nathan Briley Brownhills West Primary

“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

“Progressive Sports led a very successful competition day at Hob Hill Primary. As well as them organising an enjoyable day of athletics for the children, they also brought two athletes, who inspired the children – and staff! Daniel Caines provided awe and wonder to the children, sharing his experiences as a medal winning international athlete, while Robbie Gleeson showed that children how an aspiring young sportsman can progress in his field. The event was really well run, great fun, and is what we have come to expect from the PS coaches.”

“The best thing we have done this year is invest in SUPERCOACH, it’s been an invaluable resource for our school, enabling us to effectively target Ofsted’s five key indicators for improvement… we’re raising the profile of PE, fitness, health, and wellbeing across the whole school and I couldn’t imagine providing such an effective PE provision on my own.”
