LCFC Community Trust are extremely pleased to announce that they have formed an exciting new partnership with The Leicester Riders Foundation to offer 16 to 18-year-olds the opportunity to gain a BTEC Sports Diploma.
The programme will combine classroom-based education alongside daily Futsal and/or Basketball training.
The course will span over two years and is full-time, which will include the BTEC programme of study; class and individual tutorials, work experience/employability, NGB coaching badges, maths and English resit (if students do not pass these at school) and practical training/competition in basketball and futsal.
Benefits of enrolling onto our BTEC Diploma include; access to driving lessons (if you are over 17 years-old), practical coaching sessions (delivered by pro basketballers/LRF coaching staff and LCFC coaching staff) and access to the Riders’ state-of-the-art gym facility.
The end qualification is a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport (Performance & Excellence) (3 A Level Equivalent).
The course is due to start from September 2019 and you need a minimum of four GCSEs Level 4 to Level 9 (Level 4 or above in maths & English is desirable).
