Entry Requirements For Athlete Performance Programmes
For entry into any of the Athlete Performance Programmes, students must be enrolled on a full-time course, and minimum entry requirements will apply. Students under 19 can participate in competitions for the College and students over 19 can still train with the squads.
All academic programmes are monitored carefully and training and playing time depends on the students’ commitment to their academic studies. If you think you've got what it takes, contact the College for more information!
The Athlete Performance Programme is closely linked to and benefits strongly from the experience of South Nottingham College's range of full time courses in Sport and Fitness. See more information on these courses.
