and football potential side by side from
September.
Those who successfully gain places will
study for vocational qualifications at
Eastleigh College and will go to Eastleigh
Football Club three times a week for
coaching and competitive matches against
other National Conference Academy sides.
Participants can continue on the Football
Scholarship Scheme for up to three years,
studying for a range of qualifications on
offer including NVQs and BTEC Diplomas at
levels 1, 2 and 3. Options include the
Sport, Recreation and Leisure Assistants
course, and First Diploma or National
Diploma courses in Sport or Public Services.
In addition the Football Scholars will
receive football coaching in a professional
environment and will have the opportunity to
take further industry short courses such as
FA Coaching Badges, Match Official Course,
Sports First Aid, and other courses in the
areas of fitness instructing.
