Sporting elite

 

 

It's not the will to win that matters – everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.

Summer Schools offer sports at every level, for those who are there for the fun of it, to those who  would like to make a career out of their chosen sport.  There is a programme for practically every sport, but popular courses include football, horse riding, swimming, golf, hockey and cricket.

Many courses are coached by professional athletes and even Olympians, giving your child the very best instruction as well as teaching them to be part of a new team. Programmes are not all sport, they will also include excursions and social events that will make your child’s time at summer school something they will always remember.
