Momentous Football Opportunity for Students at the RNN Group
RNN Group (made up of Rotherham College, North Notts College, Dearne Valley College and University Centre Rotherham (UCR)) has teamed up with Momentous Football Academy with the aim of bringing education and sports together.
There will be an extensive and varied range of weekly and 1:1 sessions designed to nurture and develop young players and improve football skills allowing students to excel.
These sessions are for players of all abilities in a pressure free environment, whether you are just starting out on your football journey or if you already have football experience.
This programme will consist of a training and games programme delivered by Momentous Football Academy (4 hours coaching and 2 hours fixture), assessment of start points and progress, analysis of performance, FA qualified coaches (UEFA qualified), who will liaise with the Personal Development and Curriculum leads and staff among many other aspects of the partnership.
Mark Ryan, Vice-Principal, Curriculum, said,
“We are delighted to be working with Momentous Football Academy to develop and improve player’s football skills through play, bridging that gap between the professional football academies and local grassroots football.”
“Sport and physical activity are incredibly important in supporting with the development of a variety of transferable skills as well as wellbeing and good mental health.”
“Students from Rotherham College, North Notts College, Dearne Valley College and University Centre Rotherham have the opportunity to combine studies with high-level football performance.”
Trials start in June with the programme officially launching in the new academic year, 2nd September 2024.
