What the college says

This could be an individual sport or another team sport but the fundamentals remain the same. An individualised training plan consisting of Strength & Conditioning, Recovery, Performance Analysis and skill development tailored to your sport and runs alongside your course of study. Over the year, the college will enter you in events/tournaments/games and provide you with all the support you need to achieve your goals and gain a dual career. Your week will be balanced between your coursework, classes and ADP development sessions. All sportsmen and women will be able to make use of the College's top class fitness testing and conditioning facilities and access high level coaching and support. We pride ourselves on having the best staff around. In charge of the Academy of Sport is Ben Severn who has worked at Doncaster Rovers FC, Sheffield Wednesday FC, Rotherham United FC as well as the English Colleges National team. He has been in and around elite sports performance and worked in the USA studying their athlete development set ups into professional competitions. Head Rugby Coach Mark Applegarth is the Head of Youth at Wakefield Trinity as well as a former Super league player himself and part of the England Talent Pathway as a National team coach. Tutors are industry experts that pass on their knowledge and experien
