Sport Club/Community Links

We actively link with local sports clubs to ensure a development pathway for those students that would like to participate in sport outside of college. In order to provide sports sessions of the highest quality we use local Sports Club coaches to deliver sessions in college, strengthening the link with local clubs and giving students an exit route out into the community.
