To study at the Female Football Academy you will need to apply on line and
you will also need to take part in football trials as part of your application
process. If you love sport and learning about how to improve your
performance, then this is the course for you. Building upon what you have learnt
at school, this one-year course will mix both the practical and theoretical
aspects of sport and develop your understanding and knowledge across a range of
subject areas. It will both challenge you and inspire you to learn more about how you can
develop your own sporting performance and that of those around you. Throughout the course you will learn about how your body works and how your
mind and thinking will affect your performance. You will also learn about how
you can both train your body and test it to discover just how fit you actually
are.
To study on the Boldmere St. Michaels FC Programme, Level 1 = Limited/Low GCSE Grades/Qualifications e.g. Mainly E/2’s. Level 2 = Level 1 Qualification or Range of Grades D/3’s. Level 3 = Level 2 Qualification + Grade 4’s in GCSE’s including Maths and English (Science if looking for the Sports & Exercise Science pathway).
You get to choose the academic course you do alongside your football. Each sports course will use a range of methods including written reports, presentations, practical assessment, analysis and group work.
On completion of the Study Level, the student will have the option to progress to the next level at the college or move into another curriculum area. On completion of a Level 3 qualification, there are options internally to study on a HE programme or to apply for a Scholarship or University place of personal choice.
