The Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education is very proud to offer sporting academies in five disciplines, Football, Athletics, Golf, Rugby and Tennis, all of which are co-ordinated by highly qualified, well-known and respected coaches.

It is our intention to use the Institute’s ability to combine education and sport, to facilitate the pursuit of excellence for the area’s aspiring young athletes. This will be achieved by providing high quality coaching enhanced by other essential components such as dieting advice and sports psychology. Academy athletes will also be supported by the provision of fitness, rehabilitation and sports therapy facilities.

However, to ensure success in both academic and sporting goals, athletes must commit to a high level of effort and application in combining a full-time course of study with up to 10 hours additional coaching/playing. Effective time management is therefore essential, and academy coaches will liaise constantly with academic tutors to ensure this takes place.

So if you’re up to the challenge, the Institute will be pleased to offer you the opportunity to be part of this exciting new initiative.
