Ten years is a powerful milestone. For Boom Sports, it represents growth, learning, and lasting impact. Over the past decade, thousands of children have taken part in our sessions across primary schools, holiday camps, and parties. Along the way, children have stayed active, explored new interests, and grown in confidence through engaging, high-quality provision.

This milestone also reflects strong partnerships with schools and families and a shared commitment to supporting children’s wellbeing. As we celebrate our tenth year, we reflect not only on where we started, but how we have grown to better support children and families.

Most importantly, children remain at the heart of everything we do. Our services are designed to support their development in an inclusive, safe, and enjoyable environment.

Boom Sports began in 2016. Matteo and Giuseppe combined their experience and passion to create something meaningful. Matteo brought elite sports knowledge from Arsenal and Southampton Football Club. Meanwhile, Giuseppe had extensive experience as a primary school PE teacher.

Together, they shared one clear aim. They wanted to raise standards of sports coaching within schools and the wider community. Their goal focused on giving children the foundations to stay active for life, whether at grassroots or elite level.

The journey began with a simple Wednesday evening football session at Hanwell Community Centre. The aim was simple but meaningful. Get more children active through fun football sessions. From the start, sessions balanced skill development, enjoyment, and positive social interaction.

From the beginning, our philosophy has guided everything we do. Play, Learn, Socialise is at the heart of Boom Sports and shapes all areas of our provision, from PE lessons to wraparound care and holiday camps.

Play: encourages children to be active and enjoy themselves in a safe and supportive environment. Through games and creative activities children build confidence, coordination, and a positive attitude towards being active.

Learn: happens naturally through carefully planned and structured activities. There are learning objectives behind every lesson or provision. Helping children to develop a wide range of skills from a young age.

Socialise: staff focus on creating environments which foster the development of key socials skills. This supports children in building friendships, communication skills, and teamwork. By working together, sharing ideas, and supporting one another, children develop the social confidence that is essential both in and beyond school.

Together, this philosophy ensures every child feels included, supported, and able to grow in mind, body, and confidence.

As interest from schools increased, Boom Sports grew steadily. Our first school session took place at Greenside Primary School as an after school football club on a Friday afternoon.

Shortly afterwards, during summer 2016, we launched our first holiday camp at Flora Gardens Primary School. Children returned each day eager to stay active and engaged during the school holidays.

In 2018, we began delivering PE lessons and curriculum support at St John Fisher Catholic Primary School. These early partnerships laid the foundations for long-term collaboration built on trust, consistency, and shared values.

Today, Flora Gardens Primary School remains our longest-standing partner, marking ten years of working together to support children.

As demand grew, Boom Sports evolved to better support families. We recognised that children benefit from consistent care and engaging experiences beyond the school day. In 2019, we became Ofsted registered, allowing us to expand into childcare services alongside our sports coaching provisions.

Our first after school care scheme launched at Ark Bentworth Primary, followed by breakfast clubs and extended wraparound care at other schools. These services offer children a safe, familiar environment where they can explore a variety of activities and be active.

Within wraparound care, children enjoy much more than sport. Our wraparound care include arts and crafts, dance, performing arts, team games, creative play, and structured free time. This variety allows children to develop social, creative, and physical skills throughout the day.

Consistency is key. Familiar routines, trusted staff, and clear expectations help children feel secure and confident, supporting both wellbeing and enjoyment.

Holiday camps remain a key part of Boom Sports. Since our first holiday camp launched in the summer of 2016 in Hammersmith. We have expanded across London to run camps in Perivale too. This allows us to cater to more families across West London. Since then, they have grown into a well-loved option for families during Summer, Easter and half term breaks.

Parents value these camps for their structure, variety, and positive atmosphere. While children enjoy spending time with friends in a fun, supportive setting.

Although our services have expanded, our approach has stayed consistent. Structure, clear planning, and positive encouragement remain central to every service we deliver.

Inclusion is at the core. Every child feels welcome, and staff adapt activities to support confidence and participation across all abilities.

As a result, children develop skills at their own pace while building teamwork and resilience. These personal outcomes are valued just as highly as physical development.

Boom Sports began with two founders. Today, our team includes over 30 staff members with a wide range of expertise. Our workforce now includes PE teachers, sports coaches, childcare professionals, activity leaders, and an office manager who supports the smooth running of our services.

Coach Geraldine remains our longest-serving team member, supporting PE delivery and leading wraparound care since 2020. Ongoing professional development is central to our values, and in 2025 Boom Sports became CPD accredited, strengthening our training and delivery standards.

Moving into our dedicated office in 2023 further supported this growth, improving communication, organisation, and support across all schools and services.

None of this would be possible without the trust of our community. Schools place confidence in us to support their students each day, and parents trust us to provide safe, reliable, and high-quality care for their children.

We take that responsibility seriously. Building strong relationships, maintaining high standards, and delivering consistently positive experiences remain central to our work. As we continue to grow, we are committed to strengthening our reputation and repaying that trust through professionalism, care, and clear communication.

We are also incredibly grateful to our staff team. Their dedication, skill, and commitment underpin everything we deliver across schools, wraparound care, and holiday provision.

Together, this community has helped build a service that is trusted, respected, and focused on positive outcomes for families and schools.

As we look to the future, Boom Sports will continue to evolve. We remain committed to supporting schools, families, and children through high-quality sports coaching and childcare.

While sport remains an important part of our identity, our wider focus is on helping children grow, explore interests, and feel confident in a safe and supportive environment.

Ten years of Boom Sports reflects growth, trust, and shared success. From our sporting roots to our role as a childcare provider, we have supported thousands of children through schools, wraparound care, and holiday provision.

As we move forward, our goal remains simple: to help every child play, learn, and socialise in an environment where they feel happy, supported, and inspired.
