This Hub focuses on the Sports and Leisure industry. There is a strong emphasis on the sport elements within the course but also the leisure industry as a whole.

Students not only get the opportunity to try a variety of inclusive sports, they also complete theory-based work looking at the human anatomy, nutrition and employability-based skills in the sports and leisure industry.

As well as participating in practical activities and team games students also get to use the College gym to help them focus on their fitness levels.
