Ace Sports Coaching

Our Summer Holiday Clubs are officially back! ☀️🎉
Today we returned to our beloved St Peters Ruddington — and honestly, it’s even better than before! One of our little holiday clubbers even brought in butterflies she’d grown at home to release out on the beautiful school grounds. What a magical moment to kick things off with! 🦋
We also launched our clubs at James Peacock Ruddington, Bingham Pavilion, and Hucknall National School, plus a very exciting first — our brand new club at Trent Vale School, Beeston!
This week’s theme is all about Fruit 🍓🍌🍊 and our fantastic young leaders were out in force at St Peters today, getting stuck in and leading the way.
It was a brilliant first day packed with sports, games, arts and crafts, and of course... loom bands! 🧶

Today we celebrate the incredible women who make our business what it is. 💜
At the heart of our wraparound care, holiday clubs, PPA cover, PE teaching, and supply team is an amazing workforce — and we’re proud to say that 90% of our team are women.
Every day they inspire, support and empower the children they work with, creating safe, fun and active environments where young people can grow and thrive. From the playground to the sports hall, their passion, energy and dedication make a difference.
Today, on International Women’s Day, we want to say a huge thank you to the brilliant women in our team and to all the women shaping the future of education and childcare. 🌟
ThankYou

🌟 Meet the Team – Maya! 🌟
Say hello to Maya, our fantastic Wraparound Manager at Bramcote C of E Wraparound!
Maya also works with us as a Holiday Club Leader, mainly based at Round Hill School in Beeston, where she helps deliver fun, engaging and active holiday programmes for the children.
Alongside doing a wonderful job with us at Wraparound, Maya also works full time as a Teaching Assistant, showing just how dedicated she is to supporting children both in and out of the classroom. 💛
When she’s not working, Maya spends lots of her spare time in the gym 💪 — she’s even taking things to the next level by competing in a HYROX competition!
Maya has a degree in Childhood Psychology and enjoys learning more about how children develop and grow. Outside of work she loves reading and socialising with friends 📚✨
Fun fact – Maya is also a twin to another one of our ACE Sports favourites… Millie!
