The Leeds United College has launched a partnership with Higher Sports Academy working alongside Sheffield Football Club on a wide range of programmes for young students.

The new partnership between the three parties will help to develop and deliver a number of BTEC education and football centre hubs across the UK.

Eventually the partnership will expand internationally, providing a range of education and football programmes overseas. As part of the international delivery there will be the chance to promote and give opportunities for scholarships in the USA for those pupils interested in a new challenge.

The Higher Sports Academy provides daily sports coaching sessions along with a weekly games programme for young people whilst allowing them to also study for internationally recognised qualifications as well.
