FAQS
- Where will I study?
All of our sports courses are based at our Derby Road site. Your training and matches will take place at RH Academy in Pleasley. Transport to and from RH Academy will be arranged during training, but you may need to make your own transport arrangements on match days.
- What is it like?
The college is a professional environment intended to prepare you to work in industry. Additionally, you will also be representing a professional organisation - Mansfield Town Football Club. As such, we expect behaviour to be in line with what it would be in the world of work. Attendance and punctuality are very important, as you will potentially be entering a career where you may be working as a coach with young people behaviour in college and at home can also have an impact on your progression to the career of your choice.
- What will I study?
You will study a mixture of practical and classroom study – practical activity may include sport, drills, first aid, outward bound and orientation. Working at Level 3 standard requires an academic approach to include correct use of punctuation, spelling and grammar.

If you start at college and you haven’t yet achieved your English and maths GCSEs at grade 4 or above, then you will continue to study these alongside your chosen course.
