Our Way

At With The Ball, we have extensive experience in supporting each aspect of the Sports Premium framework to extend and enrich your PE curriculum. Our qualified coaches come bolstered with sports coaching degrees, wide-ranging sports and classroom experience and an underpinned devotion towards delivering exceptional PE in all of its forms. We will connect with all children, parents, and staff to ensure that PE is highly valued throughout the school community and viewed as an essential core subject.

Engaging, inspiring and enriching young sporting bodies and minds starts with exceptional PE lessons. Our understanding and acquisition of the pedagogical principles, learning theories, and behavioural processes allow us to deliver multi-dimensional PE lessons that emulate the same high quality of teaching that children can expect in the classroom.

As sports enthusiasts who demonstrate a sustained commitment to supporting investment of the sports premium funding for Primary PE, we have individualised our business to provide a service specific to the PE needs of a primary setting and always tailor our approach to suit the school.

Sports & Dance Coaching in Gloucestershire

Our Approach

Irrespective of whether you want us to follow your own methods of delivering the PE curriculum and tracking pupil progress, or to provide our own, we guarantee to deliver a broad, rich and engaging interpretation.

Our methods are underpinned by the latest research where every aspect of the PE curriculum is covered through systematic planning of schemes of work which filter down into well-structured individual sessions and can be adapted to suit the needs of your school, staff and current curriculum maps.

Our programs

Our programs go above and beyond the national curriculum, and are formulated around the five disciplines of sports performance; psychology, physiology, biomechanics, nutrition and technical skills with tactical awareness.

Each discipline is coherently delivered alongside the curriculum and within an array of sports & traditional activities. We will, therefore, ensure that no key element of PE goes amiss and that your children develop a broad range of skills. Every last aspect of sporting progression from group dynamics to eating your greens is covered!

Much more than just PE lessons

Our sessions are tailored to challenge every individual child in an environment where they feel safe, full of enjoyment and can adopt essential life skills that could not otherwise be gained. Differentiated learning tasks, effective and challenging questioning, peer assessment and well-structured feedback are just some ways in which we ensure that children take ownership of their learning.

We can provide your children with access to quality coaching in 25+ separate sports and styles of dance. It is our aim to find at least one that works for every individual. From here, we make sure that they are appropriately inspired! Top performers will learn a wide range of new skills to add to their collection and we strive for children with less of an interest to gain confidence in at least one sport that they want to carry forward to secondary school and throughout their adult life.

Our service

Our service is in line with current research which suggests that it is highly beneficial for children to have access to a variety of sports in one place, with a coach that they trust. When the time is right, we’ll happily help them to find a suitable sport-specific club outside of school. We ensure that school pupils get the opportunity to link with our extensive network of local sports clubs, facilities, and supportive external organisations.

We also offer our own variety of extracurricular and community based clubs, which altogether establishes a clear extension of opportunities for children to be physically active and to lead healthy and active lifestyles.

“As a small rural school we have used With The Ball for several years to complement our curriculum and after school club offerings. I cannot rate them highly enough. Ritchie, Laura and the rest of the team always go above and beyond to provide energetic, fun and fair sessions. The children love their lessons and the teaching staff get continuous development to enhance their coaching skills.”
