About Us
Empowering Children Through Sport
At First Steps Sports Club, our initiative is to engage children in sporting activities and promote a healthy and active lifestyle from as early as possible. Being owned and supported by qualified teachers and professional footballers, allows us to combine our expertise and passion to inspire children.
Engaging children in sports from a young age has numerous benefits, including physical fitness, motor skill development, teamwork, discipline and confidence building. Our programmes are based around all of these areas, encouraging children to lead active lives and set solid foundations for a healthy lifestyle as they grow older.

Pitshanger FC Partnership
Since 2021, we have been partnered up with the biggest grassroots football club in Ealing. Through this partnership, we have exclusive access to their sites, using these for our weekend football sessions and football/multi-sports holiday camps. We also organise regular friendlies against a variety of Pitshanger FC age groups, providing our children the opportunity to put their training in to action. In addition to this, we have our feeding programme, which allows our more advanced children to integrate in to PFC teams, playing weekly in a competitive league. Similarly, if PFC feel a child is not quite ready to join a team or needs further training, they are referred to one of our weekly football sessions.
