“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” Michael Jordan

We hope you apply and join one of our amazing sport programmes. We are an ambitious and thriving department allowing you to study ONE subject that you fully love.

If you’ve got your heart set on having an active career as a PE teacher, personal trainer, sports coach, or physiotherapist, to name but a few, our sport courses can help you get on the right track. You will study sports specific units, all taught by industry professionals who possess a wealth of knowledge of their sport specific area. Every unit is geared towards your vocational area aiming to inspire and enthuse you to pursue a career in the sport sector.

You will learn the theory and practical elements of your chosen sports pathway. We will also ensure that you are given every opportunity to work on the practical elements to give you a vocationally specific experience. You will also be given the opportunity for residentials and numerous hands on experiences, gaining opportunities to develop transferable skills for employment and further study.

Our department is developing future Teachers, Coaches, Sports Therapists, and Personal Training. With nearly 250 students engaged in the sporting provisions, we pride ourselves on giving our students the best possible start to their future career.

The UK Sport and Physical Activity Industries contributes £38bn to the UK economy, with sustained growth over the last five years. There are jobs and opportunities readily available in all sectors of the industry, and it is our job to nurture, encourage and train our students to give them the head start they need to become successful.

You will need a passion for the sporting industry; lots of energy and 100% commitment to achieve the best you can be. The programmes are an ideal opportunity to combine your interests in sport with a career, and open many doors into the sporting world. All of the Sports courses are full time, so dedication is the key.

Dream it, Believe it, Achieve it with the Sports department at West Suffolk College.
