Over the February half term Team BTC held 5 Development Day sessions across both Bridgwater and Taunton Campuses with just under 100 Year 10 and 11 students booked onto Netball, Men’s and Women’s Football, and Men’s and Women’s Rugby sessions. The Development day allowed students to come and experience sessions at Bridgwater and Taunton College, delivered by our highly experienced coaches.
BTC coaches delivered technical and tactical sessions on the state of the art 3G facility both at Bridgwater and the Taunton Campus. The players were also put through their paces in a Strength and Conditioning sessions along with skills based sessions delivered in our sports halls.
Over the 3 days, current Team BTC scholar athletes attended and the students were given the opportunity in a Q&A session to ask them what College life is really like, with lots of positive outcomes coming from the conversations.
Jamie Laird (Team BTC Manager) said, “It was fantastic to have such a good turnout of both Year 10 and 11 players not only from around the County but also we had players travel from Devon, Dorset and Wales. It shows that what we are doing here at the College is now being recognised by students all over the South West. A huge thank you to all of our coaches and scholars who helped make each day a huge success.”
A parent of one student who attended said:
Megan would like to say a big thank you for yesterday. She thoroughly enjoyed the experience and how nice everyone was. Thank you
We will be holding further Development Days over the Easter Holidays. Please look out on our social media platforms for more details coming soon.
