Who We Are

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.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

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 weekly 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.

Fantastic camp! My daughter Evie loved it. All day spent outside playing sports. That’s what you want for your children in the summer. She was coming back home exhausted but happy. Definitely will be back, but now with her younger brother.

I was running from Godzilla and a man with a beard told me to follow him. He gave me a bib and told me to play football with the other kids. I won (YAY) and moved on to dodgeball. Thanks for saving me from Godzilla!

My children started to play there late in the summer term season. My son gained a lot of confidence in the short time he’s been there and wants to come home to learn his tricks. For my daughter, who is the under 5s group, I’ve enjoyed watching the different games they play with them. I highly recommend first steps, especially if you have two children in different age groups because they play at the same time!

My son has been coming to first steps for over 3 and a half years. He really enjoys it and it's down to the coaching staff who are patient, inclusive and able to interact with the children, keeping there attention and teaching them skills while making it fun. You can see with each age group the difference in implicating more technical skills, as it should be. I would definitely recommend to someone looking to start there children into playing football.

Our son is almost 5 years old and started just after his 3rd birthday. We were previously with another football club and have found First Steps to be brilliant. It is fun, engaging and our son absolutely loves his Sunday sessions. The coaches know the children and bring a great energy to the club. Each term ends with a medal ceremony which is a great touch allowing the children to celebrate their achievements. We are really thankful for First Steps. We will be putting his younger sister in soon!
