Sky Blues in the Community have linked up with Henley College Coventry to offer a new Futsal and Education programme in September for 16-19 year olds as part of a blossoming partnership which sees both organisations expanding their sports offers to students.
Futsal is the only form of indoor football approved by FIFA, UEFA and the FA with over 2 million players who regularly participate.
The students will study for a Level 3 BTEC (worth 2 A levels) and train and play Futsal for up to 8 hours a week.
There are only 20 places available and students will study at the Ricoh Arena, Henley College and Birmingham Futsal Arena.
Sky Blues Joint Head of Community David Busst visited Henley College last week this week to launch the new course and demonstrate Futsal skills to some of the current sports students at Henley College.
David said “Sky Blues in the Community are delighted to be teaming up with Henley College to deliver this exciting new programme. Many great players attribute the development of their skills to Futsal including Ronaldo and Fabregas and we are delighted that we will be able to pass on these skills to students, at the same time linking with the college to provide our first full time educational offer.”
Stuart Thom Programme Manager for Sports Industry at Henley College said “Expanding our sports provision to include Futsal which is globally recognised as one of the fasted growing indoor sports is very exciting. We are looking forward to working with Sky Blues in the Community to produce a winning Futsal team that will compete with other professional club teams across the country, as well as teaching our students skills in coaching and sports leadership that they will need for their future careers.”
