Our company Sports7, which trades as Planet Soccer, is hugely passionate about sports and ensuring all children develop a level of physical competence and team work that will equip them for life.
Planet Soccer was established in 1999 as a football coaching company for children from 5-11 years old but we now teach a variety of sports in PE lessons in schools and coach football, as well as other sports, during before & after school clubs. We also provide holiday camps in a range of schools that we coach in.
We established our company Sports7 so that schools and parents understand that we coach a wide variety of sports in addition to football.
Sports7 (trading as Planet Soccer) exists to give every child the opportunity to enjoy sport in a safe, positive environment. We aim to inspire children to reach their potential, build confidence, and promote teamwork and healthy lifestyles. All our coaching is centered around our 7 sport values:
Allowing children to participate in our coaching is a fantastic way to explore and develop lifelong skills. It enables children to be able to access opportunities to be physically active as well as helping children to have the right to be taught in a safe and emotionally secure environment.
Establish and sustain higher standards of physical education in schools.
To inspire, engage and empower a generation of children to be active.
Boosts children’s confidence and improves self-esteem.
Develops children’s social skills which would benefit them even when they grow older.
Gives children a sense of belonging and gives them an opportunity to make friends.
Help children to learn how to accept and cope with losses rather than feeling completely defeated.
Teaching children about teamwork and cooperating with others. They learn to interact, increase participation levels of physical activity and sport with people from different ages.
Provides children with the important lesson of learning how to work in a team. By working together they will learn each other’s strengths and weakness and will be better able to decide and strategies the best plan for the team.
We have built excellent relationships with many schools and since the introduction of PPA time (Planning, preparation and assessment time for teachers) we now coach PE lessons throughout the school day in maintained, private and special needs schools. We teach a variety of fun and engaging sports, from football to yoga!
All our lessons and clubs are taught by our dedicated coaches, who have a wealth of experience coaching clubs and summer camps and teaching PE in Primary Schools. Our coaches are creative and through our specific coaching techniques, they are able to develop children’s skills in a range of sports. All coaches are fully qualified coaches and hold an enhanced DBS check and are First Aid qualified.
