If you live, breathe and sleep basketball, then we’re the college for you.
We’ve teamed up with the country’s most successful team in British basketball, the Newcastle Eagles, to give talented players the chance to bring out the best in their basketball performance while studying at the college.
Not only do we deliver our Basketball Academy in partnership with the Eagles, but our Head Coach is also the Eagles legend Drew Lasker.
You can study any of our full-time school leaver programmes in sport or any other subject, including A Levels and become a member of our Basketball Academy.
You’ll develop the knowledge and expertise you need to go on to university or straight into work or an apprenticeship and gain a nationally recognised qualification whilst training and competing every week to develop your basketball skills.
“I cannot recommend Gateshead College enough to athletes wanting to take their sport further. I now have a scholarship place in the USA.”
