Top College for Sport
Runshaw has been the North West Colleges’ Sports Champions since 2000!
Sport does not build character, it reveals character, and last year the college supported a myriad of athletes striving to achieve their own personal sporting goals.
All students are eligible to join the Sports Academy and they do not have to enrol on a sports course to be a member. The ethos of the Academy is excellence in both academic study and sporting performance.
Runshaw is a college with the vision to constantly challenge and improve its sports facilities and coaching delivery. This means we can meet the individual sporting aspirations of all our students.
Runshaw has exceptional facilities: two sports halls, a fitness suite, a new state-of-the-art sport science lab, a grass pitch, two synthetic playing areas and a new sports teaching block.
The coaches hold first degrees or higher in sport disciplines alongside relevant NGB coaching qualifications.
In addition, a number of the coaches either play sport, or coach players, at county and national levels.
Specifically, as a member of the Sports Academy you will:
• expand your mental, physical, technical and tactical awareness
• develop your coordination and concentration skills
• raise your performance levels
• improve your effectiveness in your
academic studies
