Llandovery College has created a bespoke Junior Sports Academy Programme to nurture dedicated athletes and provide students with continued development in their chosen sport.
The Junior Sports Academy Programme provides keen athletes with high quality coaching, strength and conditioning and skills development.
The programme is designed to develop the athletic potential of the individual and Academy members develop transferable physical attributes, fundamental skills, strategies and tactics. Students also build a growth mindset along with an active and healthy approach to life.
