How It All Started

Sports Camps NE was founded by Matthew Lawn. At the age of 22, Matt gained invaluable experience coaching young children in America. In 2008 he brought that passion back home to the North East of England.

Since then, he has worked with over 5,000 children through his role as Head of PE and Sport at an outstanding primary school and through his award-winning Football Squirts classes.

Sports Camps NE is the natural extension of that work. The same ethos, the same passion, the same commitment to giving every child an unforgettable experience.
