I have been playing rugby with my son for a couple of years. We always have great fun at training and watching my son improve his skills and gain confidence through rugby are the real highlights for me as a father.

Coaching at Baslow after school club was great fun and a really good experience in order to develop my confidence and enhance my leadership skills. The sessions included a variety of football, hockey and netball all of which I was able to teach the kids new skills and tactics that I have developed through my own sporting experiences such as at Baslow netball club. It was a great opportunity to enhance my CV, especially since I am wanting to go on to do a sports management course at university. Both myself and the other coaches were treated with respect creating a very welcoming atmosphere, promoting fun, fairness, and friendship.

Before starting hockey on Thursdays my daughter had not played before and similarly I had not played since leaving school many, many years previously, however we have both improved immensely and greatly enjoy the fun and friendly atmosphere of the group, making some good friends in the process. My daughter’s confidence in playing hockey has improved hugely and we love playing competitively alongside each other without it being deadly serious! I would strongly recommend this as a great opportunity for mums or to get back into sport, but also more importantly a great way of spending time with your child within a structured sporting activity which is immensely rewarding and enjoyable.

Before starting family football I was quite apprehensive. I go jogging a few times a week, so I’m used to a little activity but was worried that I may not keep up with the other ladies. Also, I was worried that I’d have to know the rules of the game or be joining a well established group that wouldn’t be accepting of new members. I really didn’t need to worry. Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly. You choose how much effort you put in and I often come away feeling sweaty and out of breath but having had lots of fun too. You don’t have to be super fit or have loads of knowledge of football to join in. I like that my children can join in many of the sessions, if I want them to! As well as improving my fitness levels, the groups have helped me to tone up and lose weight as well as making me a healthier person with my more sensible approach to food going hand in hand with the exercise. The sessions are very good value for money and I would highly recommend them to anyone of any age and any level of fitness.

My daughter attended Becky’s netball from y4 to y6. She found a new passion for group sports and really enjoyed meeting up with her class mates after school but also meeting new children from different schools. She has gone on to take netball as an extra curricular activity at secondary school. I can highly recommend this group and when her two sisters are old enough they cant wait to join after watching their big Sis! Parents can enjoy a coffee from the cafe so its a win for all! Thanks Becky x

My 7 year old daughter is a regular at Becky’s Wild Athletics, and absolutely loves it. It is fantastic for her to have such a great time doing sport, and to do ‘proper’ athletics, compared with the ‘throwing the bean bag’ type sport that happens at school. It’s brilliant for us as a family as I go to boot camp while she does her athletics. None of this would work if it wasn’t for Becky, who is a delightful person and a complete star. My daughter absolutely adores her.
