We’re at the top of our game when it comes to sport education and training. Alongside a range of sport education courses, you can play your sport of choice as a member of one of our Sports Academies.
We have eight specialist sport academies:
All include up to 4.5 hours of professional training each week, a personalised training and development programme and free access to physiotherapy assessments and treatment (eligibility criteria applies.) You’ll also have the chance to compete in local, national and international competitions and overseas training camps.
Our team of teachers and coaches are passionate about making your experience at college the very best it can be. They’ll ask you work hard, but they’ll be working hard too and will put everything they’ve got into help you to succeed. Each team member has their own specialism such as anatomy, psychology or nutrition and keep their skills up to date to ensure your learning is as relevant to the world of work as possible.

“The Netball Academy has been the highlight of my time here at Gateshead College. There’s a lot of opportunities to develop as a player through high quality training and matches. I have also been able to trial for AoC Colleges and have been successful and represented England for 2 years which was amazing.”
