L1 Athlete Development Programme 2 (Half Year)

The Athlete Development Programme is designed for students who may already be performing at a high level in their chosen sport(s) or for those students aspiring to become first-team players. The intention of the programme is to consolidate the skills and knowledge needed for an athletic foundation. This programme will provide students with instructions on physical training methods, injury prevention and rehabilitation, sports nutrition and sports psychology, as well as regular skill-sessions for students in their chosen sport. This is a practical based course where time will be spent on training as well as learning in and out of the classroom in order to develop an all-round athlete. Students will complete a range of Unit and Achievement Standards in this programme.
