Newbury College Team 19 5 a-side Football Tournament

Newbury College held a 5-a-side intra Team 19 football tournament at the end of January with six teams taking part from courses ranging from Motor Vehicle and Construction to Public Services and Animal Care.

The event took place to launch the Team 19 football programme at Newbury College, a programme which aims to address the 16-19 participation drop-off within sports by driving intra-college Team 19 football leagues which are led by students for students.

Sports Maker at Newbury College Aimee Kaur who organised the event said, “It was brilliant to launch a Team 19 football event which engaged students of all abilities from a variety of curriculum areas. We worked closely with Association of Colleges Sport and Berks and Bucks Football Association to ensure it was successful. The students worked incredibly well together and fostered good sportsmanship throughout”.

Aimee has recently been appointed as the new College Sports Maker and aims to deliver a wider sporting variety for students and help drive up student sport participation encouraging new participants during her time at Newbury College.
