Glamorgan County Cricket Club will be holding a Taster Day on Thursday, March 29th from 12.30-15.00 for its highly popular BTEC Level 3 course in Sports Coaching, Development and Fitness.

For the past two years, the Club together with Fitzalan High School and TVS Education have joined forces to offer this unique sports studies qualification in a world-class setting. The students (aged 16-18) have been taught and coached at Glamorgan Cricket’s headquarters at The SSE SWALEC in Cardiff, delivered by one of Glamorgan’s former players Adam Harrison and coached by Glamorgan’s own staff.

Watch a short video about the course and the fantastic facilities and educational opportunities at the home of Glamorgan Cricket.

The BTEC Extended Diploma in Sport is a specialist work-related course developed to cover the core elements of sporting performance and excellence. These topics include Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, Coaching, Analysis and Technical and Tactical and many more.

This course particularly suits those wanting to enter employment in the sport and active leisure sector as sports coaches, instructors, leaders and teachers. It is also ideal for those wishing to progress to higher education to study a sport related degree such as coaching, sports development and sports science. 

Students also get unique opportunities for work experience alongside Glamorgan’s staff, besides gaining first-hand knowledge of how an international sports stadium operates throughout the year.
