Argyle Community Trust
ARGYLE Community Trust is delighted to announce a new link with Plympton Academy in delivering an exciting new Post-16 programme.
The collaboration provides an exciting and innovative learning opportunity where students can study at Post 16 level alongside developing their Football skills within the Academy.
The academy offers those with a passion for football to combine study pathways, whilst gaining regular professional training and development from a professional football club.
Students will have access to a Plymouth Argyle UEFA B Qualified coach, engaging in high-quality, professional training sessions geared towards developing both tactical and technical awareness of the game, as well as competing in ESFA U18 School Leagues and Cup fixtures.
Students will have the opportunity to develop their coaching skills, and study towards a range of coaching and leadership qualifications. Also, as part of the programme, each student will have free entry onto the National Citizen Service programme as part of their development.
Argyle Community Trust is the only provider in Plymouth of this programme, which is a kitemarked government opportunity. Students will work closely with the School Sports Partnership in developing our Plympton family primary schools offer, assisting local primary schools with both curricular and extra-curricular sporting events.
As part of the Football Academy students will have the opportunity to engage in work placements within the sports sector designed to develop and enhance their sporting knowledge and personal development leading to a greater readiness to future employment.
