Dronfield Scholarship
About
Do you want to continue your education, play football and study sport at the same time? If you are currently in year 11/12 or aged 15-18 and wondering what your future holds…..G3A have a unique opportunity that will allow you to play, train and compete like a professional footballer.
We work with professional and semi professional football clubs to offer young players an opportunity to develop their game and continue their full time education through our professional and comprehensive scholarship & education programme. We combine preparation for a career in sport with an academic course appropriate to their needs and aspirations. Our unique programme engages the players practically and academically.
When enrolling onto the Dronfield Scholarship with us the course you will undertake is a BTEC Level 2/3 Extended Diploma in Sport. This includes 9-16 hours of studying time which varies depending on grades achieved at the end of Year 11. But don't worry because throughout the week you still get 10-15 hours of training hours out on the pitch to chase your footballing aspirations.
To be able to join the course for the Level 2 BTEC Extended Certificate you will need to have achieved 4 GCSE's at grade 3 and above including Math and English. However, if you have not achieved the needed grades in English and Math, specialist tutoring can be provided to re-sit the exams and qualify with the correct grades required for not only this course but for future career ambitions. Upon completion this qualification is worth 3 GCSE's.
To enter the course for the Level 3 BTEC, which is a National Extended Diploma in Sport you will require higher grades of 5 GCSE's at grade 4 and above throughout, once again including Math and English. Upon completion of this course this will be equivalent to 3 A-Levels and facilitates going onto further University either away from G3A or within the similar footballing environment that we now provide.
This BTEC Course will help learners to gain an understanding of physical, practical and mental elements in the sport. The added coaching elements in this to be more hands on in a practical environment to enhance the skill set you can build going into the sporting world or in an apprenticeship capacity.
