Experience the Thrill of Sporting Journeys Sports Clubs

Sporting Journeys NE Ltd was established in 2024 to provide quality and affordable sports coaching throughout Northumberland.

Despite being a new, one-person business, I have extensive experience, having managed Magpie Sports Ltd for the past 10 years and delivered primary school sports and holiday camps for over 15 years. 

Before Magpie Sports Ltd, I served as a Cricket Development Officer with the Northumberland Cricket Board and coached both boys and girls.

My achievements include winning the ECB Sky Sports Young Coach of the Year 2013, the first and only person from the North East to receive this award. While at Magpie Sports Ltd, I earned a Sports Science degree and worked in various football academies. Currently, I manage the semi-professional club Blyth Town FC in Northern Premier League.

Sporting Journeys NE Ltd already has contracts with several primary schools to deliver school sports. I offer one-on-one coaching sessions and group coaching programs, partnering with Corbridge United FC and coordinating the All Stars at Corbridge Cricket Club.

Looking forward to working with you,
Mattie Thompson
