Sport

Why study Sport?

If you are interested in sport and finding out more about the industry, then we offer a range of exciting sport courses. Studying sport will enable you to focus on working in the industry, as well as sports injury, coaching sports and leadership skills, fitness testing and training, and sports development.

There will be the opportunity to take part in a wide range of sports activities, which are aimed at improving sports performance. Coaching is offered in rugby and football, with opportunities to play for the College's team. Additional qualifications, such as the Community Sports Leader Award and Higher Leader Award can also be studied. We encourage you to participate in many sporting developments, including cricket development schemes, tennis, golf, women and men's football, basketball and netball. Working with local primary schools is also an integral part of the course, where you can practice both leadership and coaching skills.

To help you make better career decisions, visits to higher education institutions and external presentations about careers in sport are also offered. Whatever your sport, we will encourage you to develop your skills and abilities.
