Opportunities within sport are growing year on year and there has never been a better time than now to pursue a career in the industry.
University Centre Reaseheath is delighted to announce it’s expanding its higher education sport provision with the launch of a new Foundation Degree in Sports Coaching, to complement its existing Adventure Sports and Coaching Foundation Degree.
Both degrees are an ideal option for students wishing to pursue a career in sports coaching – either in the sports or adventure sports industries.
If you have any students with a keen interest in sport and a desire to progress on to degree level study, we would like to invite them to University Centre Reaseheath this December for a HE Sport Taster Day.
Friday 1st December or Thursday 7th December
1pm – 3pm
On the day your students will be able to choose from a Sports Coaching or Adventure Sports Coaching activity.
Students interested in Sports Coaching will enjoy a hands-on VO2 max demonstration in our sports testing lab, an Olympic lifting demonstration and a Breaking 2 marathon challenge in our gym.
Students interested in Adventure Sports and Coaching will take part in a low ropes problem solving taster.
The practical tasters will be followed by a tour of our new facilities, an overview of the sport degrees offered at University Centre Reaseheath and information about our new Sports Performance Academy which is currently under development (due for completion May 2018).
Lunch is available to purchase in the canteen from 12.30pm.
