More about the course

Get your head in the game with this fun, sport focused programme. It's a great option if you want to pursue a sports career, but didn't get the GCSEs you had hoped for.

If you choose the sport pathway, you will have the chance to take part in team games, learn the basics of personal fitness and deliver community activities alongside NE Youth. 

Newcastle Falcons Community Foundation helped us to develop this course and deliver exciting, practical sessions.

Students also have the chance to take trips to the Lake District, thanks to our partnership with NCS.
