OUR MISSION:
GENERATION ACTIVE

The first ten years of a child’s life are game-changing in creating a lifelong commitment to physical activity. The case for promoting and encouraging a lifestyle that includes physical activity is unquestionable, and as a nation, the steady decline of an active lifestyle in our young people is inexcusable. Clearly, everyone has a role to play; schools, parents, communities, government and companies like ourselves; it’s one we are committed to and take very seriously.

HERE'S WHAT OUR
CUSTOMERS
SAY...

“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.”

Ben Preston Headteacher - Hob Hill Primary

“Progressive Sports have been great for our school. Lessons are well structured, lesson objectives clear, and children know what is expected. We would highly recommend Progressive Sports and we are extremely pleased with their service”

Derbys1 Laura Haywood, Pe Co-Ordinator and Class Teacher, Southwold Primary, Nottingham

We have been extremely impressed with the professionalism of the staff working in the school. They have integrated themselves into our school family and promote the school’s behaviour policy and and virtues. Progressive Kids has allowed us to enhance our extra curricular offer, giving the children in our care more opportunity to participate in a wider range of sporting activities. I would highly recommend Progressive Kids and we look forward to continuing to strengthen the provision we offer.

David Jobburns Head at St Joseph's RC Primary

As a new school, it was important to us that we could not only support working parents within the community but also offer an extended and enriched curriculum to our children.

Progressive Kids have been a brilliant addition to our team, offering wraparound care each day and throughout the holidays. We are looking forward to working together.
