Sports Academy & Junior Academy
| Sports & Junior Academy
A brand new iniative to HCC |
|
Since September 2013, Honiton Community College has introduced a brand new initiative, the Sports Academy. The Sports Academy has been designed to increase the provision already in place for talented and enthusiastic young sports people at HCC. It has been divided in to two areas, The Sports Academy and the Junior Sports Academy. The Sports Academy allows pupils to combine their academic and/or vocational studies with a comprehensive training schedule, mirroring that of a professional athlete.
|
The Sports Academy is for year 12 and 13 pupils and as part of this new scheme, pupils will be provided with a brand new kit line in order to create an identity for the Sports Academy around College and to be able to train in suitable clothing. |

The Sports Academy is for year 12 and 13 pupils and as part of this new scheme, pupils will be provided with a brand new kit line in order to create an identity for the Sports Academy around College and to be able to train in suitable clothing. They will have 2 hours per week timetabled for sports conditioning sessions. They will also receive training diaries designed to identify their training needs and to monitor and record their strength and conditioning programmes. In addition, these pupils will have regular meetings with the Mr Skelding (Sports Academy Co-ordinator) in order to monitor their development.
We will also be holding Sports Academy sessions for 1 ½ hours per week after College for Rugby, Netball, Basketball and Football. These sessions will involve external coaches, including Exeter City Community Coaches for football, a Level 2 coach for Netball, Exeter Eagles coaches for Basketball and an ex-professional for the rugby.
Junior Sports Academy
The Junior Sports Academy applies to year 10 and 11 pupils (with some exceptions from younger years) and is aimed at identifying and supporting young athletes within HCC and providing them with an environment, in which to flourish.
The Junior Sports Academy will take on 3 tiers with varying levels of provision:
Level Three
There will be 8 pupils from year 10 and 11 who will receive a scholarship including Sports Academy kit, which can be worn in core PE lessons, Sports Academy sessions, conditioning sessions and GCSE PE practical lessons. In addition, they will receive a training diary and a conditioning programme and sessions. They will also have regular monitoring sessions with Mr Skelding. In addition, these pupils will attend Sports Academy sessions after College if they fall under Rugby, Football, Netball or Basketball. If a pupil is in the top tier but not under these 4 sports, then they will receive everything except for the Academy sessions.
