Academic Achievement & Sporting Excellence Sports AcademicAcademy achievement & sporting excellence 02 Introduction Our Sports Academy offers a unique opportunity for students to receive high-level coaching and competition experience alongside their academic study. Students have seven different Sports Academies to choose from; Basketball, Cricket, Football, Golf, Hockey, Netball and Rugby. The Sports Academy is a tremendous platform for any student wishing to develop their technical and tactical skills which will ultimately improve overall performance and success in their chosen sport. Academy students receive specialist training twice a week on a Monday afternoon and Friday morning as well as playing in regular fixtures, competing on Wednesday afternoons in county, regional and national competitions. Academic subject choices are timetabled around training and fixtures to provide a well-rounded sports and study experience at College, with no disruption to lessons or learning. The Sports Centre at Brock offers excellent facilities for Academy training and matches. These include three football pitches and training grids, two rugby pitches, a floodlit, all-weather hockey pitch and 5-a-side training area, a floodlit hard court area with four tennis courts, three netball courts and a basketball court, a sports hall with full sized basketball, netball and volleyball courts and four badminton courts. There is also a fully equipped gym and fitness studio available for Academy students to further develop their fitness training.

Please contact the Sports team for more information. 05 Basketball The College currently hosts two teams (the ‘Bulldogs’) that play in the Hampshire first and The schedule of the training second leagues, as well as competing in the County sessions and games fits and British Colleges Cups.

Benjy Kirkham. The team’s continued success comes from constant practice sessions and matchplay which takes up eight hours per week. The regular training sessions are devised to develop specific basketball skills and general fitness. Other pre-class sessions are also on offer for those who are dedicated to reaching their highest potential. The College has a strong link with the Solent University Sports Performance Science department which assesses players’ fitness and identifies development needs – a really useful aspect of the course for those aspiring to play at the highest level. Brock also has a link with the CBA Basketball Academy in Gran Canaria. Through a week long intensive training camp in the summer term, it gives the Academy players a chance to be trained by Spanish and American coaches and be pushed to their limits, experiencing what it takes to play at a high level. Brock’s basketball coaches include men and women who have played at professional level, nationally and internationally; they hold relevant coaching awards and are an enthusiastic team who are dedicated to the game and to ensuring that our students get the most out of their studies and their basketball game. An ex-captain of Brock’s Basketball Academy is now part of Gloucester University’s BUSA programme, and another member of our team was invited to join the Impact Basketball Academy in Las Vegas. For more information about Basketball and what the Sports Academy has to offer, visit: www.brock.ac.uk/sportsacademy 06 Cricket Brock’s Cricket teams play and train on a regular basis through term times. Training takes place at our own indoor facilities and at the Dorset Cricket Centre (an ECB accredited centre of cricket development). The sessions include team training and one-to-one technical and tactical sessions that develop batting, bowling and fielding skills. There is also a strong emphasis on fitness to benefit players’ overall performance, as well as the development of mental toughness for competition play. All coaches involved with the running of the Academy are extremely passionate about the game and the development of players. Regular fixtures take place at nearby Bashley (Rydal) Cricket Club to ensure match experience; the teams also participate in a regional trophy (with over 50 teams) and a number of 20/20 competitions. The Cricket Academy has seen success in a number of students, including one who has trialled for Gloucester County Cricket Club and was invited to participate in the England Talent test at Loughborough University, attended by England Development Programme Directors. During sessions we have the opportunity to see a psychologist who talks to us both one-to-one and in groups about different techniques, which is great as it helps us prepare and build up to a real game. Matt Swindlehurst. We are also proud to be linked with LCA Cricket Coaching (based at the Ageas Bowl). They provide the players with additional coaching experience throughout the year. The players who participate receive quality, first-class coaching from ex-professional cricketers, LCA founders and coaches Richard Logan and Richard Browning. For more information about Cricket and what the Sports Academy has to offer, visit: www.brock.ac.uk/sportsacademy 07 08 09 Football The Football Academy has four men’s teams and one women’s team which have gained a significant local and national reputation; it is regarded as one of the top FE-based Football Academies in the county. Brock offers a two to three year specialist programme to enable students to develop and perfect their footballing skills. The Football Academy coaches are all UEFA qualified and have extensive experience of working with youth players, as well as personal success as players themselves. They are dedicated to the sport and to developing the highest standard of achievement for all students. The structured training schedule allows Former Premier League football player eight hours coaching each week, together with Graeme Le Saux visited the College to competitive matches. speak to Football Academy students about opportunities for careers in football. The men’s Academy has longstanding links with AFC Bournemouth, which provides some of the Academy players the opportunity to train with the club’s Youth Team. The Academy also has a unique partnership with Southern League side Bashley Football Club, which identifies and nurtures individual skills and aims to prepare 16-19 year olds for semi-professional football. The Academy boasts an outstanding number of achievements to date, including winning the British Colleges National Cup in 2013, and being awarded the President’s Trophy for Outstanding Team Performance at the 2013 Hampshire PE and Schools Sports Celebration. They also compete in the Youth Alliance Football Conference, and have qualified to represent the South East region at the 2014 British Colleges National Championships. The women’s team were the 2013 runners up in the Hampshire Colleges League, and played in the British Colleges Sports Cup regional final in 2014. Past Academy students have represented England Colleges, and also gone on to sign professional contracts with Hull City, AFC Bournemouth, Dagenham and Redbridge FC, and Port Vale FC. Many women’s team players have also gone on to trial for the England Colleges National team. I have had a fantastic two years learning from some excellent coaches, which has helped me improve massively as a player. This has been an experience to remember forever and I could not wish for a better atmosphere and environment in which to play football. Tony Rolls.

  • Develop Your Workforce Employer’S Guide to Higher Education This Booklet Sets out to Explain How Higher Level Skills Can Benefit Your Business
    Develop your workforce Employer’s Guide to Higher Education This booklet sets out to explain how higher level skills can benefit your business. We’ll show how you, your business and workforce can benefit from work-based higher education and the various levels and types of qualification available. We’ll direct you to where you can access higher education near you and provide other useful contact addresses. What are higher level skills? “High level skills – the skills associated with higher education – are good for the individuals who acquire them and good for the economy. They help individuals unlock their talent and aspire to change their life for the better. They help businesses and public services to innovate and prosper. They help towns and cities thrive by creating jobs, helping businesses become more competitive and driving economic regeneration. High level skills add value for all of us.” Foreword, Minister of State for Lifelong Learning, Further and Higher Education ‘Higher Education at Work – High Skills: High Value’, DIUS, April 2008 Why? There are good reasons why you should consider supporting your workforce to achieve qualifications which formally recognise their skills and why those skills will improve your business opportunities: • you will be equipped with the skills needed to meet current and future challenges in line with your business needs • new ideas and business solutions can be generated by assigning employees key project work as part of their course based assignments • your commitment to staff development will increase motivation and improve recruitment and retention • skills and knowledge can be passed on and shared by employees Is it relevant to my business? Universities are keen to work with employers to ensure that courses reflect the real needs of business and industry and suit a wide range of training requirements.
