Kirklees College is looking to recruit its first ever academy football team for September 2011, when it launches its very own Sports Academy.

The college hopes to develop the academy from offering football in its first year to include many other sports for male and female students in the following years. The sports academy boasts great access to facilities at Leeds Road playing fields and head coach Wayne Allison, a former professional footballer who also coaches Bradford City.

Sports coaches at Kirklees College hope to attract interest over the summer from keen and talented footballers who want to study a sports course at college, but also want to train in football several days a week like a professional.

Sports Development Officer, Adrian Tallon said, “We’ve already got great opportunities for this year’s squad. We have strong links with semi-professional club AFC Emley and a top class coach to bring out the best in our students.

“The male football team is the first of a number of sports we will set up over the next few years. The students will not only have sporting opportunities on the field, but by studying a sports course with us, they will get ahead of the game with a qualification too.”

Project Sport will be providing extra help to the the Sports Academy by providing qualified coaches to assist the range of teams!

With the run-up to Project Sports third summer of providing excellent Holiday sporting activities, the team are pleased to announce an exciting and diverse range of camps for this summer.
 
Our successful Football Camps continue to provide a safe and age appropriate learning environment. With an eye on London 2012, the hugely popular Multi-Sports Camps provide children with a taste of the events at next years Olympics. Using some of the best cricket grounds in the area, our Cricket Camps provide a structured day, that is tailored to meet the needs of beginners through to representative cricketers. In partnership with Huddersfield School of Theatre Dance, the Street Dance Camps offer an insight into the craze that has hit the UK over the last 2 years and results in a ’parents performance’ at the end of the camp.
 
The Project Sport team are heavily qualified and experienced in all aspects of our work and equally importantly; work in all the local schools! So in many scenarios, we have already built up great relationships with a lot of the children who attend our camps. This proves to be one of the key factors behind our success as each child is placed in the correct group with the correct coach and therefore, go away having got far more out of the day.
