Pompey Sports & Education Foundation have teamed up with Portsmouth College to offer the very best 16-18-year-olds the chance to continue their football development while gaining a first class education.
The new course will enable students to gain a BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance & Excellence) and also compete in the National College Football League.
The course will consist of education being delivered by the professional and experienced Portsmouth College staff, and all the practical coaching and game day being delivered by PSEF staff.
Students will also get the opportunity to have their own personalised playing and training kits as well as taking part in the annual tour of Chicago with Soccer Scholar Academy to potentially gain a Scholarship in the USA
What will I study?
· BTEC Level 3 in Sport (performance & excellence)
· CSLA award
· HSLA award
· FA level one coaching award
· FA level two coaching award
This course is available to 18 students of the highest calibre who wish to seriously continue with their own football education and wish to play at the highest level.
Craig Pearce, Head of Sports & Coaching (pictured with Principle Steve Frampton and college Staff Dan Franklin and Tom Lloyd) said: “This is a very exciting partnership that will offer the most talented footballers who have not quite made it at a pro club a second chance while gaining a valuable education”
