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.

Thank you again for joining us for the twilight. It was a really useful session that was clear, well paced and interactive. It was good to see all the staff engage with such a plethora of activities and also able to share their own ideas and experience to inform each other’s practice. The balance of the session was well crafted and enabled everyone to be involved and I am already seeing the applications within class teaching.

We had a party today for my son who’s turning 6.
It was amazing! The kids all thoroughly enjoyed it and didn’t want to leave.
Alex who ran the party was great! He checked in with me a couple of times to make sure we were on time for doing the cake etc which was really nice. He was so great with the kids, a lovely guy.

Progressive Sports booked the hall, entertained the kids and even brought party bags and a present for my son. It was so simple, I just brought the cake along and enjoyed it. It was really easy and reasonably priced too. I couldn’t be happier.
Thank you!!

Nova Primary has been working in partnership with Progressive Sports since January 2020. As headteacher, I have worked with organisations providing similar offers but none have been as efficient or enthusiastic. Progressive Sports staff facilitate a range of roles in the school including cover teachers, sports coaches for classes/clubs and sports mentors for children who need social and emotional support. I can honestly say that we love having them here and the children do to. They have been incredibly supportive throughout the pandemic and always pay attention to safety guidance. I recommend would them whole-heartedly to any setting.

If anyone is thinking about putting their child into the Futsal sessions then I would fully recommend it. My son has come on no end in the six months or so he’s been attending and I can see the improvement when he plays for his club side on a Sunday. The coaches are great with the boys and very patient. I wish we’d started him sooner!
