Sholing FC Under 18 Academy Success!
It's been a great year off the pitch for the U18 Academy. Along with some players progressing to the first team we've had great success from the results in the classroom. All first year students completed their first year of the Level 3 NCFE Sport qualification and will be moving into the second year.
All second years have also completed and most will now move into employment or further education at University. Two students that are moving onto University are Lloyd Marande and Kian O'Rourke. Both students are also in the club's football pathway having signed on again for the U23 side.
Lloyd Marande said, "The course here at Sholing has given me a lot of Sport and Football knowledge that I didn’t have before joining. It has given me the platform to now go onto higher education and study Sports management with Loughborough college and University. I could never have imagined two years ago after starting the course that I would now have been accepted into Loughborough to study a degree in Sport Management".
The Academy Education is run in partnership with Champion Academy who have a proven track record of success from the Level 3 course and also run the University in partnership with Loughborough college.
