FACILITIES
Theory lessons will be held at Bournville College and some practical sessions in the college sports hall/Urban Fitness gym and Colmers Leisure Centre.
You are expected to use the gym and participate in practical sport sessions outside of your college hours. This will be monitored as it is a requirement to pass the course.
SPORTS DEVELOPMENT SCHEMES
In addition to the course we also offer Football, Netball, Basketball, Cricket and Rugby Development Schemes. The purpose is to offer both boys and girls the chance to develop their skills and knowledge. This is very demanding in addition to your working week. It involves up to 8 hours of coaching/training per week plus games against other local colleges. You will also have the opportunity to gain a number of level coaching qualifications.
We offer a great deal on kit for the players who get through the trials and pre-season training starting in August.
