Ryman League high flyers,
Heybridge Swifts, and local Maldon school, Plume, have
teamed up to form the brand new Plume Football College
which will offer a BTEC in Sport for talented students. |
|
|
|
|
|
The new initiative will offer
students over 16 a chance to continue their academic
studies while offering a structured football programme
of high quality technical and tactical coaching. |

Plume's football scheme will also include fitness, diet,
nutrition and competitive games and it's hoped that the
course will provide a pathway for students to start a
career in the sport industry.

Links will be formed with both professional and
semi-professional clubs and Heybridge Swifts Youth
Development Manager, Robbie Nihill, commented: "This
is an outstanding opportunity for students to gain
relevant academic qualifications and receive quality
football coaching while being individually mentored."

The course will feature a UEFA A licensed coach and two
hours of football sessions will be incorporated into the
timetable on a daily basis.
Places will be offered to school leavers who can
demonstrate potential and flair for football and who are
academically suited to combine studies as part of the
programme.
Robbie Nihill explained more: "They need to be
excited by the opportunity, be motivated, disciplined and
committed to all aspects of the course as we pride
ourselves on being a part of the community and developing
young talent."
The Plume College and Heybridge Swifts will be making a
presentation to interested students and parents at Plume
on Monday January 22 at 7.30pm.
Any interested parties are asked to call the Head of PE at
Plume, Ruth Clark, on 01621 854681 or e-mail admin@plume.essex.sch.uk.
