Fleetwood Town offers both a BTEC Level 2 and Level 3 Diploma in Sport, as well as a Foundation Degree in Sport Coaching and Development.
In the classroom
Students will be taught by our fully qualified tutors, who not only have the relevant qualifications, but also a wealth of experience in the sports and leisure industry. The courses cover a range of classroom-based units relating to sport that will equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to work within the sector.
All work is submitted using an online platform, provided by the League Football Education (our Education provider). Laptops and all other neccesary resources are provided for all students to achieve their potential.
On the pitch
Students of the education programme will train twice per week (3+ hours) and compete in weekly football fixtures on Wednesday’s alongside their education. Training and home games are held on the FIFA standard AstroTurf pitches at Poolfoot Farm and with access to the dome and state of the art gym.
This gives students the opportunity to represent Fleetwood Town Community Trust in either the EFL CEFA League (Boys Programme) or AOC League (Girls Programme).
