Elite sports students visit Birmingham University

A group of 17 Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) visited Birmingham University as part of a Sports Science Support Day.

The Elite Sports Performance Programme (ESPP) students went along to the Sports Science Support Workshop day on Friday 7th December to take part in a day which was organised to help them with their Sports career's.

All the students are currently part of the College’s Elite Sports Performance Programme (ESPP). The ESPP was created as part of the Academy of Sport at NULC to allow talented sportspeople to continue their academic studies, while training and competing at the highest level.

As part of the day the students took part in a number of activities including Strength and Conditioning and a talk from National level athletes currently studying at the university on scholarship programmes.

Trevor Humphreys, Academy of Sport Manager at NULC said: “The day at Birmingham University gave the students an excellent opportunity to take part in a number of activities which will help them to continue to excel in there chosen sport.”
