There are exciting times ahead for students who love basketball and are looking to study A Level or BTEC Level 3 qualifications at Colmers Sixth Form in Rednal.
From September 2022, students will have the opportunity to study whilst maintaining or exploring their passion for basketball through the School’s partnership with the Bromsgrove Bears.
Students who join the Academy will have full access to all courses on offer in the Sixth Form and, in addition, will train weekly with the Bromsgrove Bears, competing at National League level. Professional coaching and weekly games will be part of the Academy timetable, with Wednesday afternoons devoted to basketball.
Academy students will be able to choose from a range of coaching courses to develop their sporting expertise and will also have the opportunity to gain a Sports Leadership Qualification. Students in the Academy can choose from a traditional academic route studying 3 A Level courses, or can opt to take a Level 3 BTEC Sport course.
The Basketball Academy is a truly exciting opportunity for young people who want to continue their studies while pursuing a love of basketball.
Whether sport is something that will remain a lifelong interest or something that you wish to pursue as a career, the Academy pathway will offer life-changing opportunities. It is an ideal route through to sport-related university courses or into professional sporting activity.
If you are interested in the Academy and would like further information, you can contact Mr Wilcox, Head of Perform Faculty, mwilcox@colmers.school. You can also find out more about Bromsgrove Bears from their website, bromsgrovebearsbasketball.co.uk.
