Our ethos at Pride Sports Academy is to learn through play!
​
Founded in 2016, our organisation creates a fun-filled environment where children can naturally develop their imagination, make new friends and most importantly, build confidence. According to the NHS website, "Toddlers and preschoolers should spend at least 180 minutes (3 hours) each day engaged in a variety of physical activities, including active and outdoor play, spread throughout the day. The more physical activity, the better!"
Physical activity guidelines for children (under 5 years) - NHS​
In 2016, we realised that there were very few physical activities available for children aged between 2 and 7 years old. To address this gap, we found an opportunity to partner with a nursery to provide a football coaching session that incorporated key areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage. We understand the importance of child development, which is why we focus on the following prime areas of learning:
​
-
Personal, Social and Emotional Development - This includes making relationships, self-confidence and self-awareness, as well as managing feelings and behaviour.
-
Physical Development - This encompasses moving and handling, as well as health and self-care.
-
Communication and Language - This involves listening and attention, understanding and speaking.
​
By emphasising these areas, we aim to support the holistic development of young children.
