Sport isn’t just about improving your fitness or learning to coach – it’s about understanding the scientific principles related to performance.

We combine physical training, coaching techniques, scientific approaches and sports development in lessons which take place in our College sports hall, gym and fitness studios.

Students are taught by tutors who have sports experience at regional and national level. Their expertise benefits students on the playing field, during training, and in the classroom.

Applicants, these courses are suitable for students that are aged 16-18 at time of enrolment.
