Football Short Course
Our 8 week Football Short Course is designed specifically for senior school students who have an interest in sport and benefit from hands on, active learning. Delivered by Cheltenham Town Community Trust staff, this programme supports students in developing key life skills such as leadership, communication, and teamwork, while building a stronger connection to football and their wider community.
This course is ideal for students who may not engage fully with traditional academic environments but thrive in practical, supportive settings. Sessions are delivered on site at your school to ensure students feel comfortable and confident, with the course culminating in an exciting tour of Cheltenham Town’s professional stadium.
