Sport

Sports, physical activity, nutrition and health have become a more prominent space in the public eye over the past few years. More and more of our students are aware of the benefits of being active and what they are putting in their bodies.  

We have a selection of courses to support our students’ interests and desire to fuel these interests and knowledge into a career.   

As a Chesterfield College sport student, you’ll also have access to our superb leisure facility at Queen’s Park. With an eight-lane swimming pool, 80-station gym, squash courts and a freedom climbing wall, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to work on your practical skills as well as your coaching and development techniques.

We have a selection of courses that focus on a variety of sectors under the sports and fitness umbrella:   

  • Sports coaching   
  • Sport and physical activity
  • Sport and physical activity – Football Course
  • Sports and exercise science
  • Entry sports
  • Sport and public services     

Our courses will teach you valuable skills in the sector you want to excel in but also communication, collaboration, teamwork, resilience and self-development skills that will help make you as a student, more confident and ready for the working world.   

Our teaching staff have a vast range of experience and never fail to give quality one-to-one support, guidance and tuition if you need it. We want to make sure you fully understand a topic or module, don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Millie Standen…

“There’s lots of opportunities to coach different abilities and groups. We have coached a Level 1 Group as part of a unit and next we are coaching swimming. You don’t just coach your peers, you get to coach kids and adolescents. It’s nice to keep your options open and challenge yourself to coach different groups by adapting to their individual needs.  The blend allows me to change my coaching style and challenge myself.”

We have a range of opportunities to find out what it’s like working in the industry. This will help you find out where you want your career to progress and specialise in the sports industry to be.
